Bed material (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mulch

(Other definitions for mulch that I've seen before include "Protective vegetation" , "It's laid around plants to retain moisture and keep down weeds" , "Garden dressing" , "Material for garden" , "Decaying leaves, bark or compost spread around a plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
