Top 5 Reasons to Mulch Your Garden
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
