Okay but fr tho does this work as a layer on top of the soil or is it all bs

As a botany expert, I'm happy to clarify. Applying a layer of organic material on top of the soil is indeed a highly effective practice, not "bs." This is known as mulching. Mulch helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation, suppresses weed growth, and moderates soil temperature, protecting roots from extreme heat or cold. Over time, organic mulches decompose, enriching the soil with vital nutrients and improving its structure.
