Generally, mulch products help keep soils moist for a longer period after watering by acting as a barrier to sunlight, preventing evaporation as well as regulates the soil’s temperature even protect roots from frost damage. Mulch acts as a barrier from rainfall which can cause soil erosion via runoff. Correct application of mulch also starves weeds of sunlight significantly hindering weeds ability to grow.

Mulch insulates the soil to protect against extreme temperatures. It controls the water to provide ample moisture to the roots. It prevents weeds from crowding out the plants. The soil particle remains loose and promotes oxygen circulation. Damage to the lawn is minimized because the mulch acts as a barrier.
Mulch is essential to protecting your landscaping. Applying the correct amount of mulch gives adequate protection for the soil. If you are applying bark-based mulch, you will need two to three inches. Larger size fillers like straw, bark, rock, and pine needles can be applied to a four-inch limit. The rule of thumb is the larger the mulch, the more it can be applied to a particular area. The more compact the mulch the less that should be applied liberally, because it restricts oxygen available to the gardening.
2 Types of Mulch:Organic mulches are made of things like organic materials. They can include chopped leaves, straw, grass clippings and even paper! These kinds of mulch help keep your plants healthy by keeping the soil moist around them while also providing nutrients to make sure they grow well. Inorganic mulches do not have living parts but still offer some great perks for you gardeners out there as they provide shade from harsh sunlight that might be too hot on certain days and work really hard at reflecting heat away so it doesnt get too warm during summer evenings when you will need this more than anything else.
When choosing mulch, consider the slope of the yard. Determine how much time you want to devote to gardening and maintaining the landscape since some mulch varieties break down more easily than others. It can even shift when subjected to rain and wind. If you’re investing a lot in your landscaping, you will need quality mulch that breaks down slowly and properly balances the pH levels of the soil to promote proper growth. Assess the quality of the soil as well by collecting samples from different areas of the yard. Using a testing kit from a local nursery, you should be able to determine the health of the soil and identify the mulch that meets your soil and landscaping nutrient requirements.
