As I set up a three-metre length of sturdy fencing for the tomatoes earlier in the month, I could not avoid the adjacent planting of carrots and beets. The young seedlings were developing nicely. . . .
Dear Helen: I am confused by the concept of mulching. When should I apply it? How much? What types are best? How are ground covers mulched? Will a mulch smother them if applied on top? T.D. For. . .

BACKGROUND: Graskop Animals In Need (GAIN) is a shelter and home to at least 50 abandoned and abused cats and dogs rescued in and around the Mpumalanga town. To assist with the prevalence of strays in the area, GAIN was registered as an NPO in 2016, with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home starving, abandoned or abused pets. The kennels and catteries were built with the help of members of the community in the garden of founder, Carla Gibson.
GAIN takes in and re-homes animals, but also runs a free sterilisation and feeding program to assist pet-owners in disadvantaged communities around Graskop.
