The first tip is to use plastic pots to cover the plants that are already growing. This will help avoid any damage to the plant as you pour mulch around them.
The company said this also creates a well around the plant to help capture water. And it helps to separate the plant from the mulch so it doesn’t rot.
The second hack is to use bigger pots to spread mulch around the garden. Because your plants are covered, you don’t need to be careful about where you get the organic material.
Don’t miss…
Just pour the mulch to cover the dirt and make sure it’s evenly spread. Take the covers off your plants, and you’re done.
Commenters were amazed at how genius the trick is.
“Wow.. so obvious and simple. That’s an awesome idea. Thank you so much,” one said.
Another wrote: “The plant cover trick is so clever. I’m struggling though trying to mulch my bed with a lot of smaller sprouted plants.”
The company suggested using even smaller pots or a thinner layer of mulch.
