Your little farm is beautiful! So nice to see the kids playing outside and getting involved! Very kind of you to share all this great info, too! Just one question - why would you ever use mulberry in the beds?? It is incredibly invasive, and seems to shoot up from invisible roots - at least in my yard. I hope you have better luck! All the best!
Hello, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! I had them in beds for a few months during the peak summer season. The red mulberry cuttings are indeed easy to transplant and require just moisture and sunlight to bring life back to the visually lifeless twigs. However, since they (and elderberry twigs and branches) decompose fairly quicker I have had no issues yet. The trick is to make sure they have zero contact with the soil ( or some may refer to dirt sometimes). My beds have thick (about a foot) woodchips underneath.
