Mulch helps your yard look great. But, besides looking nice, mulch is a multi-purpose yard product that also keeps your property healthy.
There are many reasons why mulch is important for your garden. A layer of mulch will protect plants (especially the younger ones) from harmful factors that may affect their growth.
During summer seasons, mulch holds moisture in the soil, so plants retain enough water. During winter, mulch acts like a blanket—protecting the roots from frost that can kill or severely affect plant growth. Mulching also helps keep weeds and unwanted grasses away.
Mulch Retains Water – The mulch holds excess water and slowly releases it over time. This creates a slow-paced watering system to avoid saturating the soil underneath.
Mulch Acts as a Natural Weed Barrier – When you mulch areas of exposed soil around a tree or around shrubs and bushes, it creates a natural shield, protecting the soil from weed growth.
Mulch Protects Plants from Cold – In the fall and spring, mulch protects the ground from frost. Mulching around tree saplings or bushes will keep them from freezing—frost damage or even death.
Mulch Prevents Erosion – Mulch locks soil in place, which is especially important in high traffic areas. Mulch around your patio and garden to keep the soil from eroding or becoming packed.
Mulch Regulates Soil Temperature – Mulch reduces plant stress by regulating the temperature of the soil. This keeps plants cool during hot summer months and warm during the cooler spring and fall.
Are you planning on planting trees this spring? We highly recommend you mulch around your tree saplings. Mulching will protect the tree from weeds, fluctuating temperatures, and soil erosion.
Mulching around young trees will also protect them from lawnmower damage. By removing grass immediately around the tree and replacing with mulch, there’s no risk of hitting trees with the mower.
