What’s the deal with mulch? Why do we do it? Where does it come from? Mulch is a noun, a verb, and--for many--a pile of mystery. On this episode, we delve into mulch's history, weigh in on the bag vs. bulk debate, and call into question the whole dang practice. Roll up your sleeves and grab a shovel, because your hosts are here to deliver many, many cubic yards of mulch facts!

Mentioned in this episode: Austin Resource Recovery Recycling Center (currently closed due to COVID); Rodale's How to Grow Vegetables and Fruits by the Organic Method; Cheryl Hazeltine's Central Texas Gardener.
