Weed Suppression

Mulch creates a thick cover that blocks sunlight in your garden beds, making it difficult for weeds to grow. Even if some weeds manage to germinate, this thick cover blocks the sun - their energy source for growth.

Soil Enrichment

Organic mulch, made from materials such as bark or wood chips, decomposes over time. The decomposition of organic mulch creates nutrient rich soil and improves soil texture, leading to benefits for your plants as well as worms and insects that aerate your soil.

Moisture Retention

By blocking direct sunlight, mulch helps retain soil moisture. It acts as a sponge and absorbs water and slows the evaporation of that water to save you money on watering and allow for even water absorption in your garden beds.

Erosion Prevention

Because mulch serves as a protective layer for your garden by covering the bare soil, it protects this soil from erosion caused by elements such as wind and rain. It also reduces soil compaction which maintains soil structure.

Temperature Regulation

Mulch moderates the temperature of your beds by keeping soil warmer during cold nights and cooler during hot days. This is important for supporting plant growth and overall health of your garden.
