Home > Mulches > All About Mulching >
• Mulching is a method of applying materials to cover the soil around desirable plants, insulating them in the winter yet also keeping them moist during the summer.
• It is a popular method of controlling weeds without using chemicals.
• Organic Mulches have the added benefit of improving the structure and fertility of the soil.
• Always bear in mind that the insulating characteristics of mulching can also work against you if adequate preparations haven’t been made. Only apply mulches to warm, moist soil using them on frozen or very dry soil can just seal in the problem. Carefully remove any weeds before applying mulches otherwise they will reap the rewards of the mulching process just as readily as the plants you really intend to help.
• Mulching improves water retention.
