Layer of organic material spread over a flowerbed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mulch

(Other definitions for mulch that I've seen before include "covering on beds" , "Decaying leaves, bark or compost spread around a plant" , "Ground cover" , "Vegetable matter spread to protect roots, etc" , "It holds moisture and checks weeds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
