MULCHING OF AMERICAN GINSENG
By Dr. Walter Van Fleet
In accordance with natural conditions a winter mulch over the crowns is essential, especially in northern localities. Forest leaves held in place with poultry netting or light brush are best, but corn stalks stripped of the husks, bean vines, cow pea hay, or other coarse litter not containing weed seeds or material attractive to mice will answer the purpose. It should not be placed in position until actual freezing weather is imminent and should be removed in spring before the first shoots come through the soil.
A mulch of 4 or 5 inches of leaves or their equivalent in litter is ample for the severest climate, and less is needed in the South. Seedling beds particularly require careful mulching to prevent heaving by frost.
