Top 5 Reasons to Mulch Your Garden

1. Control Weeds and Pests - Mulch will block sunlight from your soil, discouraging weed growth and depending on the type of mulch you use, it can also help prevent pests from invading your garden.

2. Maximize nutrients - Mulch will prevent rain from washing away nutrients and will also attract earthworms which help enrich your soil and create great soil structure.

3. Moisture in your soil - Mulch will help your soil retain moisture which will help reduce your water bills, especially in the warmer months of the year.

4. Prevent Soil Erosion - Mulch will protect your soil from washing away in the rain and mulch will naturally break down and become part of your soil over time.

5. Improve Your Look - Mulch will give your garden a more professional look and feel and your plant will contrast nicely with the color mulch adds to your garden.
