What Exactly is Mulch?

One of the first things people should know about mulch is what exactly it is. For starters, it’s commonly made from both organic and inorganic products, and it’s meant to be laid on top of the soil. While it may seem high maintenance to some, it actually cuts down on the amount of overall garden maintenance you have to do. Wood chips and shredded-up car tires are some common mulching materials.

Benefits of Canonsburg Mulch

There are a few benefits that all types of mulch offer. For one thing, it adds a nice decorative touch to your garden. It often comes in a variety of colors and can really make your garden beds pop. It also helps keep moisture in the soil. Without mulch, water in the ground evaporates out much easier, especially when the sun is beating down on the land. Mulch keeps the soil cooler and keeps the water in. In the wintertime, mulch insulates the soil and protects it from the cold. More specifically, it protects the roots of your perennials, trees, and shrubs.

Another thing that makes all that heavy lifting worth it is the fact that mulch also acts as a weed barrier. Mulch helps to suppress the growth of weeds, so you won’t have to worry about weeding as often as you did before. By extension, this means that mulch also helps reduce the spread of some plant-borne diseases.

Of course, there are also some benefits that are more specific to the type of mulch you choose. For instance, organic mulch offers the added benefit of enriching your soil. As the organic materials break down over time, it puts nutrients back into the ground. This breakdown makes for healthy soil and can even attract beneficial bugs, like earthworms, to your garden. Inorganic mulch can’t give you that, but it typically doesn’t have to be applied as often as its organic counterpart. It can be an excellent low-maintenance option because you won’t have to go out and buy a new batch of it every single year.
