Show 2 answersHello everyone, I have now planted a few berry bushes (currants and gooseberries) in our new garden and am wondering whether I should underplant them. For example with Waldsteinia, wild garlic and lungwort. Do you have any experience with this? Or is mulching the better option? I actually prefer it green.
