Re: [RibesNAFEX] Mulching new currants



Tom, why remove the mulch in the spring???  It will help hold moisture, stabalize the temperature at the roots and will suppress some weeds. I do not think that this is too much mulch, most of my new plantings are year old plants, then I place about 4 to 6 inches of year old leaves around the plants, the following spring, (if I can get to it) I add another 4 to 6 in of leaves. My planting is in rows with approx 30 in between plants and the rows are spaced about 6 to 8 feet apart, I mow the grass between the rows.
