Every time you do a bit of gardening, aim to cover the cleared ground
straight away with mulch, around any new plants you put in, you can buy

do more gardening the first bit will be back to square one which can be a
bit depressing.

What kind of "mulch" exactly are you referring to?
Bark chips, wood chips, ...?

Absolutely anything organic, what ever you can lay your hands on, it just
needs to be weed free (ie not animal manures) but bark is fine, I use garden
shreddings and lawn mowings but the posters garden is too small to produce
enough so they will have to buy it in
