ayne’s Organic Soil Yard has a variety of mulches. Bark mulch, for example, offers several key benefits for gardens and landscapes in Northern New Mexico, where the climate is generally semi-arid, sunny, and prone to temperature swings.
Here’s a detailed breakdown:
- Moisture Retention
Northern New Mexico’s dry climate means soil can lose water quickly. Bark mulch helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation, keeping plants hydrated longer and reducing the need for frequent watering. - Temperature Regulation
Bark mulch acts as an insulating layer, protecting plant roots from extreme heat in summer and cold snaps in winter. This is particularly helpful for sensitive perennials and shrubs. - Weed Suppression
A 2–4 inch layer of bark mulch blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds, reducing weed growth and the time you spend pulling them. - Soil Improvement
As bark mulch breaks down slowly, it adds organic matter to the soil, improving soil structure, fertility, and microbial activity. This is beneficial for Northern New Mexico’s often sandy or rocky soils.
