pulling off mulch

Recommended Posts

Planning on pulling off the (matted) leaf mulch out of my beds this week. Would like the smaller bulbs to have a better chance to grow. Also thinking of "winter sowing" some seeds directly. Is there any reason why I *shouldn't* be doing this? The ground won't be bare--there will be plenty of leaf litter that won't come up easily.

Sure, sow away. We bare a bit of ground and sow there, to not waste the seed as it has so much better chance if it's contact with soil, than a bit of leaf.

And you don't have to pull the leaves away from bulbs but if you want to knock the mats apart it does looks less silly -- none of that look of little bulbs coming up with wide brown hats above them.
