Apart from the products that you can find in our store, there are many natural resources to protect the soil, if we talk about sustainable gardens perhaps they are the most recommended:
Cut grass, mixed with crushed branches and dry leaves, is ideal for mulching, but it is extremely important that the grass is pre-dried, as the freshly cut and wet grass compacts, rots and prevents the soil from breathing
Another practice of total recycling is to place sheets of newspaper on the area to be quilted and cover them with the desired mulch. You will be able to retain more moisture, you will recycle the paper, since this will eventually join the ground and you will almost completely avoid the appearance of weeds
