It's August and it's smokin' hot in Mississippi! In the hot summer months, container plants dry out more quickly because of the intense heat. Several years ago, I was watering my containers every day or every other day and decided to mulch them to try to reduce my watering time. It worked great and I went from watering almost every day to watering once or twice a week. Any mulch will work, but I like to use our Digger's Flower and Garden Mulch because it's nitrogen stabilized and benefits my plants so I don't have to fertilize. We have a helpful how-to video on our Facebook page. Here's the link: Penick Organics Container Mulching Video
