What is mulch?
While nutrients are probably the most important protecting your soil can play a big role in a quality grow. Mulch helps retain moisture in your soil that would be lost to evaporation, and by doing so it is also protecting your soil and roots from excessive heat.
Alfalfa hay is a great material for mulching as it provides all the protective qualities a mulch requires, but it is also high in nitrogen and long lasting.
