Bermuda Grass is SECRETLY Saving Your Garden

[00:00:00]Buckle up because I'm about to say something pretty controversial. Bermuda grass is the best living mulch in warm climates.

[00:00:08]Why you ask? It's pretty simple. It's heat and drought tolerant. It shades the soil. It protects the microbes, as well as provides a habitat for everything from worms to predatory insects. And oh, by the way, it pumps sugars into the soil through its roots like it's on a molasses mission. And in Arizona, that's a superpower.

[00:00:30]Bermuda grass does not play nice with your finicky annuals like your precious brassicas. But this is food forest farming. This isn't broccoli babysitting. If you're trying to grow kale in the jungle, good luck with that.

[00:00:43]But for long-term food forests, especially those practicing Korean natural farming or permaculture design, Bermuda grass is a beast.
