Has anyone noticed if putting mulch around annual crops in a food forest is helpful or problematic? I have heard that perennials prefer a fungal dominated soil while annuals prefer a microbial dominated soil, making mulch/wood chips not idea for annuals.
I have been planting a few different type of annual flowers in the food forest to attract pollinators. Right now i do a lot of borage, zinnia and nasturtium. What does everyone else plant?
