What do I have to consider if I want to use a bed cover?

There are a few points to consider so that weeds do not sprout unintentionally:

• Before the MulchingWeed weeds thoroughly.
• Chop soil before applying a layer of mulch. If the soil under the material is too compact, the precipitation does not seep away. A warm, humid climate forms under the bed cover, which offers very good growth conditions for weed seeds and pests such as snails.
• Spread the mulch layer thick enough. Four to five centimeters are ideal.
• Renew the protective blanket regularly. If it has partially decomposed, flying seeds can optimally germinate in the freshly formed humus layer.
