How can I use mulch to combat pests in my tropical garden?
Pests have been a bit of a challenge in my tropical garden lately, especially with the warm, humid climate here in Accra. I’ve been using straw as mulch to help retain moisture, but I’m curious if it can also help deter pests. I've read that some mulching materials might attract certain insects, while others can act as barriers. Could anyone share their experiences or strategies on using mulch to help control pests? I'd love to know if there are specific materials or techniques that have worked for you in similar conditions!
