Most seedlings seem to making their way through it!
I’m hoping stuff like the radishes can get through though, beans are going gang busters with it though, seems to have helped the peas as well. Generally everything since the tops been kept moist!

It’s a form of mulch. It helps retain moisture, among other things.
I wouldn’t say it’s a form of mulch. Mulch tends to be thicker and heavier and is more likely to smother plants. You can put straw down too heavy but it’s easier with mulch.
Where is that coming from because I’ve always known mulch as the wood chips and plastic sheeting as something else.
Plus, please go have a drink and a smoke because you are nit picking where there are no nits nor need to be this pedantic. Also, are you incapable of having a conversation without having to be “right” all the time?
The person pushing their specialized, incorrect definition says we should stop nit-picking, y’all. We just need to agree with whatever he says, no matter what
You’re one comment deep and are whining already. Get a grip, yo.
Wow, you guys are toxic and mentally stressed. I can disagree with what people call mulch. My entire life between growing my own stuff, working retail like home depot, tgt, etc, I’ve never had people call straw or sheeting of any kind “mulch”. Wood? Yep, mulch. Chopped up car tires or other rubber? Yep, mulch. Straw or pine needles? Normally just reffered to as ground covering. I’ve been gardening and growing shit for damn near 30 years. I was growing stuff outside of an apt that had zero accessible dirt and only concrete to work with.
The fact that you think that is whining after someone had to play the well actually game on a post about gardening tells me all I need to know about you and I thank you for sticking your head up so I can block you. At least lemmy does blocks right.
Have a nice day now.
You’re disagreeing with an established and printed definition. Asinine. Quite frankly it doesn’t matter that you’ve “never had people call straw or sheeting any kind of mulch”, you’re wrong. Get over it, maybe go have a drink and a smoke?
You were wrong about what you knew what mulch was, get over it. Now you know the proper definition and can move on knowing the correct meaning. Stop being an obtuse cunt.
And yet, somehow, you’re still definitively wrong!
I wish they could get their users right so ignoramuses like you wouldn’t even be a problem. Chortle my balls.
What does laughing have to do with your balls?
You have no idea how language works. Have a nice day now.
Nobody did this. Someone corrected you because you were wrong, and you proceeded to throw a fit instead of just taking in new information. Nobody was insulting until you started acting like a fucking toddler.
It’s from https://www.dictionary.com/browse/mulch.
It’s just mulch, dude, I’m picking neither nits nor fights.
Anything can be a mulch from what I’ve seen. Even rocks. A mulch is defined as a covering.
You nitpicked when you incorrectly said straw wasn’t mulch.
If you think that comment was being nit picky, send me your address so I can send you a dictionary.
Oh, so you do have a dictionary? Why don’t you read the definition of mulch first and tell us all what it says.
I’ve heard mulch as anything you use to cover the ground.
Compost, straw, bark etc…
Similarly, you should please go have a drink and a smoke because you can’t seem to come to terms with being wrong on a simple definition. It’s embarrassing honestly. Learn a new definition today and change for the better.
The lack of self awareness in this sentence is of monumental proportions, the only one getting their ego wrapped into this conversation was you. I’m guessing you had a bad day, making it harder to have perspective, but maybe self reflect after you have some time to chill…
