Everyone who gardens eventually figures out that mulching changes everything. Less watering. Less w**ding. Healthier soil. Fewer problems.
The part nobody warns you about is finding enough of the right stuff to actually cover your garden — affordably, consistently, without spending a weekend hauling heavy bales around.
I've been mulching my entire vegetable garden — raised beds, containers, the lot — for under twelve dollars a year. The material is lightweight enough that I carry it myself. It doesn't introduce a single w**d seed. My germination rates actually improved after I switched to it. And the slug population that once had me running what felt like a craft brewery of beer traps — completely gone.
There's a very common piece of gardening advice that made me hesitate before I tried it. That advice turns out to be based on a misunderstanding of how mulch actually works. The full story is in the first comment — including exactly where to find it and what to expect the first season you try it.

Bare soil in a vegetable garden is working against you in more ways than most people realize. It loses moisture to evaporation faster than a watering can replace it. It heats up to temperatures that damage surface roots and destroy soil biology. It gives w**d seeds direct contact with the germination conditions they need. And it crusts over after rain, reducing the infiltration of future water. One bag of straw and thirty minutes fixes all four of those problems simultaneously, and yet most home gardeners leave their beds bare all summer.
