What is green mulching in agriculture?

Green mulching in agriculture refers to the practice of using green, living plant material as a mulch. This can include grass clippings, leaves, or other vegetation. The green mulch is applied to the surface of the soil to retain moisture, control weeds, and add organic matter to the soil as it decomposes. It is also known as “green manure” and it’s often used in organic farming as a way to improve soil health and fertility.
