Caragh Garden Notebook
Mulch is one of those small garden “moves” that makes everything look instantly more intentional. A fresh layer in spring (or a tidy top-up in autumn) gives your planting a calm, finished feel — and quietly does the hard work underneath by keeping the soil in better shape for longer.
Tip: For a really polished look, edge your beds first, then mulch right up to the line. It’s the quickest way to make the whole garden feel lifted.
