What is dry mulch useful for? Does the berry plant drying out have some secret purpose I'm not aware of?
The only thing I know is that re-watering the plant after it dries out gives to an extra berry garden star... but I don't think anyone would be buying mulch for 8 nuggets if that's all drying it out does. So. ???
If there is a use (i.e. giving more berries after some time, etc.) I would like to know (I spend a lot of time berry gardening since it's actually a pretty good source of income if you're willing to go through the trouble of grinding out lvl. 100 berries (I have 1 and am working on the other 4 main berries atm))

Watering a plant shortens the time before it's ready to harvest. It's like a worse Growth Mulch

It's more obvious if you're planting slower berries, as the soil will dry out a second time before they're ready to harvest. But if you check the time left before and after watering any plant (even without applying mulch! Like just planting them) you'll notice the difference

Ohhhh!
Noted. That will be useful at some point.
