Mulching is a time-saver for the Fishers IN gardener – it takes a fraction of the time to put down mulch that it would take to weed later on. And using mulch to control weeds reduces the use of expensive and dangerous herbicides.
During World War I, Americans were encouraged to grow victory gardens, or war gardens, with slogans declaring, “Food will win the war” and “Sowing the seeds of victory.”
The idea resurfaced during World War II as the Office of Civil Defense encouraged gardens to counter a critical food shortage in America. Men and women who had worked in agriculture were now serving in the armed forces.
