Always mulch your TLO containers!
You can use a lot of different kinds of wood and products to mulch with. As far as types of wood are
concerned, again, I would avoid walnut and cedar bark. Composted and shredded bark is the best in my
opinion. Mulching your containers makes everything better for everything that's living in the soil mix, in-
cluding the plants. This allows the plant roots to come very close to the top (just under the mulch) and
feed. There is tons of air and food in the soil up top there, and this will also make top dressing with small
amounts of things like bird or bat guanos very effective, especially when used in a proactive manner.
