Weed-Resistant Composting Mulch
How do you amend earth when it is covered with conventional mulch? Do you find you are digging through dirty wood to plant your annuals?
How do I control weeds from germinating?
Simple: Use Nincompoop Mulch, a mulch that turns into earth. Naturally!
The scoop on this poop: Nincompoop Mulch is weed resistant and organic made from farm by-products, NO WOOD! This organic matter is sterilized horse and poultry manure with straw, which continuously breaks down and will maintain good earth structure. It’s everything your garden needs, Mulch, Manure and Compost.
Nincompoop Mulch is designed to compost "from the ground up." Worms feast for the entire growing season (eliminating the difficult task of amending the earth) and they do all the work of aerating and providing worm castings.
No need to top up your sinking gardens every year, with foreign top soil and a new crop of weeds. Nincompoop Mulch turns into compost and then into black earth! A thin, semi-impervious layer forms which acts as a weed-resistant barrier. Less labour, reduced weeding and it’s great for amending clay and sandy soils. It also repels slugs and snails!
- It has a chocolate brown colour that intensifies after a rain.
- It is truly a weed free mulch.
- It contains no wood, therefore I can use it on Annual and Perennial Gardens. The Nitrogen content of the soil will not be depleted.
- Worms love this mulch. The worm population has exploded in my garden since using Nincompoop for 3 years in a row.
- It breaks down into compost by spring, enriching my garden every year.
- I have noticed that this mulch improves clay soil, even in one season.
