Okay, okay! I know that there's insufficient contrast between the broken terracotta pot mulch and the terracotta pot. Yes. And the pot needs cleaning. Will you listen for a minute? I'm making a point here.
The point?
The point is that we want to use mulches to conserve water - and to stop pesky hens! Most gardens use terracotta pots and most gardeners have broken ones. So... smash 'em up and lay them on the surface and presto! A really effective mulch! Weeds can't get in as easily and water can't get out. Sustainable and free!

Hi Rob,
thanks for the great tip, I'm definitely going to try it. My sister in law cleared out loads of old terracotta pots which I just couldn't bear to get rid of. Now I have an ideal use for the broken ones!
I've been using pine cones as a mulch to deter snails from hostas, they seem to be working really well!
