Mulching is a crucial step in growing or maintaining your garden.
Properly mulching your garden offers the following benefits:
-
Inhibits weed germination and growth. (Weeds are not only unsightly, but they also steal resources from desirable garden plants!)
-
Holds in soil moisture, protecting your plants from drying out quickly
-
Moderates soil-temperature fluctuations (This benefit is especially valuable during that turbulent-weather period in spring when you don’t want your plants to be stressed.)
-
In cold-winter areas, protects plant roots from winter cold and helps prevent frost-heaving, in which plants are literally pushed out of the ground by the natural expansion and contraction of the soil as it cools off and heats up
-
In hot-summer areas, helps keep plant roots cooler
-
Depending on what you use, adds a bit of welcome nutrition to your garden as it breaks down
