Mulch has many benefits; some of which include:
- Inhibits weed germination and growth. Weeds are not only unsightly but they also steal resources from desirable garden plants.
- Hold in soil temperature fluctuations. This benefit is especially valuable during that turbulent weather period in the spring when you don’t want your plants stressed.
Protects plant roots thru the winter cold and helps prevent frost-heaving, in which plants are literally pushed out of the ground by the natural expansion and contraction of the soil as it cools off and heats up.
- During the hot summer; it helps keep plant roots cooler.
- Adds valuable nutrition to your garden as it breaks down.
- Dramatically reduces the amount of time spent weeding, watering and fighting pests.
