Resource Explained
This bulletin, published by University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE), highlights preliminary results and takeaways from a walnut leaf mulch field trial conducted in Lake County, CA. The trial found that walnut leaf mulch, when swept into tree rows after harvest, effectively suppressed annual weeds at both four- and eight-inch thickness, though perennial weeds like bindweed proved harder to control.
