WHAT DOES MULCHING REALLY DO?

IT KEEPS MOISTURE WHERE IT BELONGS

A good layer of mulch will keep the moisture in the soil where it belongs! Keeping roots moist but not overly wet which can cause root rot and disease. When summer heat hits, a layer of mulch might be the difference between life and death for plants, especially new plantings.

MULCHING LEAVES WEEDS IN THE DARK

Reduce the amount of sunlight from reaching weed seeds by covering areas with mulch. While you may still have an occasional weed pop up, mulching greatly reduces weeds.

KEEPS IT STEADY

Mulch insulates the soil, creating the buffer between the heat of summer and the cold winter temperatures. Mulch helps to regulate soil temperature by warming sooner in the spring and keeping it cooler in the summer.
