Question
What is mulching?
Solution
Mulches of different kinds, such as leaves, straws, paper, stubbles, etc., minimize evaporation, increase the absorption of moisture, and protect the surface of the land against the beating action of raindrops. Later on, they decay to form humus, which improves the physical condition of soil. Natural mulching also helps in the infiltration of water and the reduction of evaporation.
