Question: I have begun gardening again after a few years of not having any gardening space. I did a minimal amount of container gardening. I would like to mulch around some of my plants like cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, etc., but I want mulch that is not treated with any chemicals. Do you know of any products like this? – Sioux Falls
Answer: A lot of people use grass clippings that haven’t been treated with an herbicide. Straw and shredded leaves also are good alternatives, and they improve the soil.
Q: What plants can be divided right now?- Brandon
A: Some flowers can be divided anytime, but as a general rule of thumb divide spring and summer bloomers in the fall and fall bloomers in the spring. Right now, it’s OK to divide asters, mums, tall sedum, wormwood (artimesia), blanket flower and bleeding heart.
