It's extremely dry in Ohio. According to the United States Drought Monitor website, southeast Ohio is "abnormally dry," and areas in the west and northwest parts of the state are experiencing "moderate drought" conditions. While it's always a good idea to keep soil covered, it's especially important to do so now, to reduce moisture loss as much as possible, and to prevent the top few inches of soil from becoming dusty and lifeless.
