Zigzaging along Oranic mulches can be put to good use on flower beds and garden plots during the winter, says Ray McNeilan, OSU Extension agent. In rainy western Oregon, mulches reduce soil com paction. East of the Cascades, they prevent erosion and reduce evaportion. In addition, mulches hold down weeds, regulate soil temperature and add organic matter to the soil. Barkdust is the most popular organic mulch for flow er beds and other landscaped areas.

Steeply sloped areas have always given home land scapers problems because barkdust washes away easily. Now a plastic netting is available for home use. The netting is placed on the slope, then covered with barkdust. The bark sifts through the nettings and does not wash or blow away as quickly.
