One of them is mulching with compost.
~ After reading this tip and some of the book, I'm not going to mulch or lay plastic down. I'm going to weed, the reason being you cut out the good bugs food. By mulching with compost you will attracted those bugs, because you are giving them a food source.
~ If you use compost instead of fertilizer it reduces the chances of you burning your plant's roots.
