Lyrics by Ben Werling and Ben Phillips. Performed by Ben Phillips. A black plastic mulch raised bed For a fast-growing summer plantIt’s non recyclable That she brought from a sales manIn a winter of best laid plans But it left a big mess Living or dead, we need a mulch Living or dead, we need...A novel non-plastic mulch Or a short-growing legume mulch That won’t crumble or compete But I can’t go another day There’s a price to pay either way If I just turn my head Living or dead, we need a mulch Living or dead, we need a mulch And if I could yield the same as ever With mulch that blocks weeds, then leaves forever By spring time, by spring time
