Hi, I have a
land and i planted some pionner
trees, the land is full of herbs in most of its parts.
I made some
water channels that cross the land , the water channels irrigate most of the land.
Now a lot of sorgum have grown and its invading the land.
I have not mulched the land yet.
Very near from my land there is another land that is abandoned for many years. That land has trees and a dense layer of
mulch and it doenst has herbs.
I made a hole in the mulch and the soil down the soil smells like the characteristic smell of soil but very intense ( in my land the soil doenst smell anything). An also i found a lot of life , in the soil and in the leaves, a lot of insects, spiders, in the mulch and in the soil i found earth worms.
I was thinking about taking this mulch from that land and putting it in my land.
Do you think its a good idea?
Should i cut the herbs first? or can i put the mulch over the herbs in my land?
Or maybe is not recommendable to make this in this step of my forest garden? I just planted some pionner trees but they are very little yet.
any idea?
