Besides suppressing weeds , mulch also keeps the soil moist and looks attractive . Organic mulches have the added advantage of improving soil quality over time . Resist the temptation to put down black plastic . Not only is plastic ineffective , but it also becomes unsightly and pollutes the planet .
Healthy soil and strong plants fight off invasions better than poor soil and spindly plants . There are weeds that thrive in every condition : dry as dust , compacted as concrete , swampy as politics . You can ’ t
expect your flowers to fight it out in the trenches with weeds . Give ornamental plants good growing conditions , and they will hold their own against the enemy .
What comes next ?
Now that you ’ ve bounced the weeds out of your garden party , you can enjoy the new life that comes with winter rains . Remember that winter is the active season in areas with Mediterranean climates — like most of the Cape region . Bulbs emerge , and flowering annuals are starting up . Make sure you get outside and show your garden some love !
