Loves to grow flowers in the home garden. When the beautiful tub on the balcony is filled with flowers, feel the joy of the moment. Ekartti Patabahar also likes to decorate the reading table of the house. But busy life! The responsibility is no longer fulfilled if the tree is buried in the ground only. To keep it healthy, it needs regular care. Water-light should be applied at regular intervals, dry leaves should be shaken. If a part rots, it should be pruned quickly.

But your hands are tied! Be it the busy schedule of the office, or the housework all day, where is the extra time to give time to the trees? And besides, summer vacation is ahead. Plan to take a few days off and visit nearby. Who will see the trees all that time? The responsibility of bearing trees cannot be left to anyone. If you want to go on a trip, you have to water the garden hobby? Do not command! According to the experts, there is a home trick, which only if you know it will help you.

This innovative method is called straw mulching. ‘Mulching’ means creating a layer of straw that acts a bit like a blanket. This lining can be easily made without anyone’s help.

১। Spread pieces of straw around the plant. Make sure each piece is at least 2-3 inches long. It will lock the soil moisture for a long time. The soil will not dry out easily. And it will also prevent weeds from growing in the soil.

২। Depending on the weather, keep the density of ‘mulching’. If it rains frequently, or the air has high water vapor levels, keep the mulching density low. Otherwise the straw may get wet and rot. And instead of getting better for the tree, there may be danger. If the air is dry, moisten the soil and spread a thick layer of straw over it.

৩। Mulching definitely works, but it’s also important to be aware of which plants you’re using this method for. This method works very easily on vegetable plants like tomato, capsicum, squash etc. The picture is almost the same for ordinary flowers. But some succulents, such as lavender and rosemary, are relatively sensitive. Moreover, such plants do not require much watering. For such trees, if mulching results in waterlogging at the base, it can lead to tree death.

Although it sounds complicated, mulching with straw can be done at home very easily. And it is convenient to understand exactly what kind of hay ‘blanket’ is suitable for the tree, if you do it by hand. Don’t try it before the summer holidays! If put to work, the hobby of gardening will fill your mind in the middle of a busy diary of a lifetime.
