For my part of the garden cleanup, I mostly participated in being handy with the wheelbarrow. I got some gloves and a shovel and began shoveling up wood chip mulch. I would then roll the big pile over by the open area by the fence and would dump everything out. Then, I would use my hands to spread an even layer until I needed to go go back for more. I repeated this until most of the ground was covered and only a small amount of wood chip mulch remained. Wood chip mulch covers the dirt and soil and protects rain and harsh weather from ruining it. It also keeps the dirt healthy and moist. The reason this is necessary is because we need to not only protect plants, but also the part of the ground where birds, animals, or any other abiotic or biotic factor could possibly destroy the healthy soil.
