So, you got tired of eating Johnny's apples and decided to plant your first seed. Congratulations! However, in order to have a successful orchard you need to do more than just dig a little hole and drop One in it. You need birds and bees to buzz around and spread your pollen! Fret not, my frell; as your confidence in your planting abilities increases so should the recognition of your labor when you're finally ready to bear fruit. Think of this as the fertilizer; the little extra.
Mulch is a great gardening tool, meta-theoretically.
