Benefits of Mulching

Have Weeds? Looking to Retain Moisture in Your Soil?

Mulch can assist with these issues and much more.

Mulching is one of the easiest and most advantageous practices for your garden. It involves applying a protective layer of material on top of the soil. Mulches can be organic—like grass clippings, straw, bark chips, and other similar materials—or inorganic—such as stones, brick chips, and plastic. Both types of mulch offer a wide range of benefits.

Mulch helps to conserve and prolong the availability of water, shields the soil from erosion, minimizes competition by suppressing weeds, moderates temperature fluctuations, and serves as a barrier or visible marker for garden beds to prevent damage from landscaping equipment. It’s crucial to know when, which type, and how much mulch to apply, as using too much can harm trees and plants.
