@Psilocubensis,
Hi , I think it is really excellent and very effective , I start growing in living soil and have little experience and therefore I donβt have much to have a really constructive opinion in terms of comparison as I have never used any other mulch.
But for me itβs really top , it helps to keep moisture, protect microbial life and all micro organisms , it helps to develop an excellent mycelium that in turn helps to create an osmoze with all the other bacteria and microbiota in the living soil .
There may be better , or not I couldnβt say but anyway Iβm really very satisfied πππͺππ
