I forgot to mention that I'm in east central Ohio. Most people around me use either compost (which I have not started yet) or nothing. I would be okay with mulch but I usually till the ground a time or two in the middle of the summer. Would it be okay to till the mulch right into the ground? As far as mulches, would cedar be acceptable? And I also understand when using mulch you could potentially face nitrogen deficiency. Would a little blood meal work for bringing that back up?
As a side note, any recommendations on fertilizing a garden? Such as how often, how much, what kind(s)?
I appreciate the input and thanks for the quick reply CK.
