MULCH 

WHY IS MULCHING SO IMPORTANT?

Mulch helps roots survive by insulating them from extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. Keeping the ground cool in the Summer and warm in the Winter. For this reason, mulch is typically applied  in the spring to prepare for sweltering Summer temperatures and in the Fall to prepare for extreme Winter temperatures.

A thick layer of mulch hinders weeds from growing by acting as a barrier, limiting the amount of sunlight that can find its way to the seedlings.

Mulching not only keeps existing water trapped in the soil, it also keeps rain water from washing away your soil. It does this by breaking the fall of the water and therefore lessening the force when the water impacts the ground, which prevents soil erosion. In dry seasons and climates mulch slows down the evaporation of moisture from the soil.

As mulch decomposes, it adds nutrients to the soil creating a healthier environment for plants. Not all mulches should be treated alike, as it comes in many different varieties, each unique in enriching the soil. Organic mulches can encourage earthworms to occupy your garden soil. Earthworms help improve soil structure and nutrient cycling.

Mulch is known to improve the aesthetics of garden or landscaped areas, the space around trees, plants, and shrubs. As well as bringing tidiness, precision, and elegance to any landscaping project.

**If you want these mulching benefits, you must apply it properly and at the right time. Late Spring or early Summer is the ideal time to mulch because the soil is still moist. And in the Fall before Winter arrives to protect your plants. After removing any weeds and loosening the soil, add a generous layer of mulch.**
