Anyone have any idea about whether I should clear the grass from under my
lemon tree and use some other mulch?

I have heard that keeping this area free of other plants is better for the
lemon, but my lemon has plainly been doing all right despite the kikuyu for
years (and it's not a very old tree). I am not keen on the endless task of
weeding under a lemon tree for some mythical benefit -- anyone have any
experience of this technique?
