Mulching with Pet Bedding in my Vego and Birdies Raised Garden Beds

May 11, 2022 by Michelle Leave a Comment

I needed an easier way to mulch around my plants in the raised garden beds while I'm recovering from shoulder surgery and have my arm in a sling. Straw was too hard to manage in between the compact rows.

Shout out to  @MIgardener  for the idea to try pet litter bedding.
