could any body help me to learn about "mulching" I have a freind in
Mexico that would like to try this in his farm. Is this a kind of
composting crop residues (straws) with manure? Does it need a special
bacteria to promote appropiate decomposition? Does it involve any
other additives, if so, which ones? What are the steps to follow?
Where can I find some good literature (papers) about this?
Oh boy! A lot of questions! I hope some of you can help me answer some
of them!
Thank you in advance,
