MULCH! MULCH! MULCH!
WHAT DOES MULCHING REALLY DO?
IT KEEPS MOISTURE WHERE IT BELONGS
A good layer of mulch will keep the moisture in the soil where it belongs! Keeping roots moist but not overly wet which can cause root rot and disease. When summer heat hits, a layer of mulch might be the difference between life and death for plants, especially new plantings.
MULCHING LEAVES WEEDS IN THE DARK
Reduce the amount of sunlight from reaching weed seeds by covering areas with mulch. While you may still have an occasional weed pop up, mulching greatly reduces weeds.
KEEPS IT STEADY
Mulch insulates the soil, creating the buffer between the heat of summer and the cold winter temperatures. Mulch helps to regulate soil temperature by warming sooner in the spring and keeping it cooler in the summer.
Come by and ask Sam McCarthy, the manager of Payne’s Organic Soil Yard (POSY), all about top quality soils and mulches. He’ll let you know why POSY is the best choice for all your yard and garden needs. Bring your pick-up or dump truck or we’ll deliver.
Did You Know that Payne’s Organic Soil Yard (POSY) is the largest and oldest composting company in Northern New Mexico? We are almost as old as dirt!

ZODIAC SIGNS AND GARDENING? HERE’S THIS CYCLES PROFILE.
by The Old Farmer’s Almanac
Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)
Gemini finishes the spring, but the sense that a change of seasons is near keeps you light and airy. Plants that mimic your style, such as dill, calendula, caraway, and parsley, are easy for you to grow and make your heart dance. Wild carrots and dandelions—whose airborne seeds swirl and twirl in the wind—bring joy and contentment. You find yellow flowers particularly captivating, and dashes of this color can be found liberally in your yard. Salads grace your evening meals (the quickness of “wash and eat” is indescribably tantalizing). Toss some calendula blossoms right in the bowl for an added dash of pizzazz and panache.
ASK THE GARDEN GURU!
HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE BE WATERING IN THE SUMMER?
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!
In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru talked about how often we should be watering our plants during the summer heat? Lynn said that customers ask that question often and that there in not ONE answer for that! He explained that as a plant absorbs water, there’s a process called “transpiration”, meaning the roots absorb the moisture and it travels through the vascular system of the plant and then it’s lost through the leaf with transpiration!
So when it’s hot and dry and windy … that increases the transpiration and then it’s termed “evapotranspiration”. Listen to the Garden Guru’s tip and find out why you should water thoroughly – when you water – and then let your plants dry out between each watering?
