What
are the Benefits of Mulching?
*
Aesthetically pleasing.
Makes your plants stand out.
* Suppresses weed growth.
Which provides a better growing environment.
* Controls Erosion.
Mulch helps to hold valuable topsoil in place during heavy rains
thus avoiding root damage.
* Adds nutrients to the soil as it
decomposes. Add beneficial humus to your soil as
each season passes, the bottom layer of bark decays and adds nutrients
to your soil.
* Conserves water
by reducing evaporation.
In a depth of 2-4 inches our mulch greatly reduces evaporation from
the soil, keeping the moisture available in your plants root zone.
* Keeps root zones cool in hot, dry
weather. A 2-4 inch layer also acts as a winter
insulator, protecting your plants roots from freezing and thawing.
* Reduces mechanical damage to plants
by keeping mowers and trimmers away from plants - a circle of mulch
around the base of trees and shrubs protects the plants from weed
whacker and lawn mower damage, while adding beauty to your landscape.
