Mulching an organic garden can be defined as placing decomposed organic material around your plants. Fertilizer in an organic garden may be as simple as amending the soil with compost. Fertilizing and mulching provides protection and nutrition to your garden plants. These mulches and fertilizers can be purchased at home and garden centers as well as online.
