What does MULCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A layer of material, such as straw, bark or compost, spread over soil to retain moisture, suppress weeds and protect plant roots.
Gardeners spread mulch over flower beds and around trees to keep the soil beneath cool and moist, reduce weed growth and, as organic mulch breaks down, slowly add nutrients to the ground. Common materials used as mulch include shredded bark, straw, dried leaves, compost and gravel, chosen depending on the plants and the look desired. The word also works as a verb, to mulch a bed, meaning to apply this covering. Timing matters, since mulch spread too early can trap cold in the soil rather than warmth.
