• Keeps soil moist: Mulch acts like a protective blanket over the soil. It slows down water evaporation, which helps plants stay hydrated for longer. This can also reduce how often you need to water your garden.
• Prevents weeds: A thick layer of mulch blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds in the soil. Without enough sunlight, many weeds have a harder time growing. This means less time spent pulling weeds and more room for your plants to grow.
• Improves and protects the soil: Mulch helps protect soil from heavy rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. Organic mulch, such as wood chips or leaves, also breaks down over time and adds nutrients and organic matter to the soil, helping plants grow healthier.
