AGRO FOOD FARMS

MULCHING

Mulching it stimulates root development, improves soil drainage, decreases soil temperature fluctuations, and increases soil porosity and biological life. To compensate for continuous decrease in the amount of organic matter, the farm is mulched by workers to protect the topsoil against heavy rainfall and intense sun- shine as seen below.
