With this weather, mulching is important to keep the root balls cool and moist.

Are you still using used carpet between your rows to keep weeds down? I didn't think you used it for mulch, too. Do you?

At least I think it was you who was trying it.

No. I kept the carpet between the raised beds. It’s done a better job keeping grass at bay than the weed barrier I used last year.
