Okay, okay! I know that there's insufficient contrast between the broken terracotta pot mulch and the terracotta pot. Yes. And the pot needs cleaning. Will you listen for a minute? I'm making a point here.
The point?
The point is that we want to use mulches to conserve water - and to stop pesky hens! Most gardens use terracotta pots and most gardeners have broken ones. So... smash 'em up and lay them on the surface and presto! A really effective mulch! Weeds can't get in as easily and water can't get out. Sustainable and free!
