Why planting a living mulch could transform your orchard's health and productivity
In short: Sophie from Gardening Australia demonstrates the practical benefits of establishing a living mulch within an orchard. This update explores how integrating ground cover alongside a new netting system can protect fruit and improve the overall management of a productive garden space.
The video follows Sophie as she implements a living mulch strategy in her orchard. By covering the soil with specific vegetation, gardeners can protect the earth and support the orchard's ecosystem. This approach is paired with the installation of a dedicated netting system designed to safeguard developing fruit from external threats.
These techniques are part of the broader Gardening Australia mission to provide actionable horticultural advice. By managing the orchard floor and physical protection simultaneously, gardeners can create more resilient and productive growing environments.
