to do also. Just makes sense to me to build the soil with the mulch, plus
it sure helps on keeping the soil from drying out so bad. Like you said

burned off or plowed our cane in probably 10 years now. The soil has
built a very nice, rich top soil and I use very little fertilizer. I do
not water it much either, if any. There is some grass and weeds, but the
cane will usually shade it down nicely. Since I started tending the cane
this way, year by year, we have made excellent syrup which is what we're after.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
