2013 was the driest year on record for California. 2014 is looking like it could continue to produce emergency drought conditions across the state. As we prepare for our spring and summer gardens, water use is a major concern, and heavy mulching this year is a number one priority.
Ventura Cooperative Garden Services sources mulch locally, delivers and installs it for you as needed. Keep the water in the soil around the roots of your plants. By the truckload or by the bag (reclaimed and reused whenever possible.) Get some compost or compost tea too. Check out Vcoop's garden services menu here.
