Most gardeners rely on plastic sheets, landscape fabric, bark mulch, or store-bought covers—yet very few stop to ask whether these modern solutions are actually helping their soil long-term. In this video on the EVERGREEN GARDEN channel, I reveal the ancient mulch method that completely outperformed every modern garden cover I tested.
After running side-by-side comparisons using plastic mulch, commercial weed barriers, rubber mats, and bark chips, one traditional technique stood above the rest. This old-school mulch method didn’t just suppress weeds—it improved soil structure, boosted microbial life, retained moisture naturally, and built fertility over time without chemicals or waste.
In this video, you’ll learn how ancient gardeners used simple materials like leaves, straw, and green plant matter to create living mulch that feeds the soil instead of suffocating it. I walk you through exactly how to apply this method, including the correct carbon-to-nitrogen ratios, ideal mulch depths for vegetables and perennials, and seasonal adjustments that make the difference between failure and long-term success.
This is not theory. These are real garden results tested across seasons, soil types, and crops. Whether you’re growing vegetables, maintaining raised beds, or improving poor soil, this method can reduce weeds, conserve water, and build rich soil faster than any store-bought product.
If you’re tired of wasting money on modern garden covers that break down, overheat soil, or leave behind plastic residue, this video will change how you mulch forever.
Watch until the end to understand why this ancient mulch method is one of the most overlooked tools in sustainable gardening—and why it deserves a permanent place in modern gardens.
