1159 - MULCH

Leonard was a keen gardener. But to his dismay much of the crop in a particular area of his garden had started to spoil. There was nothing for it but to dig it all up. As he was digging his spade hit something with a clunk. He investigated and found a leaky tin of weed killer buried in the ground. No wonder his crop had failed. He dug out lots of soil, hoping to clear the contamination. Then he put in some fresh soil, planted a crop suitable for the season and applied a good helping of mulch to keep it moist and feed it. Later on he was delighted to harvest an abundant crop.
