While weeding purslane out of my vegetable gardens I've noticed that wherever the purslane is thick, the soil is moist. I'm wondering if I just let it grow around the vegetable plants, if it will act as a mulch. It is very vigorous in my area - in fact, I was amazed to learn that you can actually buy seed for this stuff! I haven't been able to find any information on how much it competes with other plants for water and nutrients, though. Any ideas?
