Why Mulch?

1.   Conserves moisture in the soil.  Reduces evaporation and the need for frequent watering.

2.   Roots stay cool in summer and warmer in winter. 

3.   Keeps plants from being stressed by reducing big temperature and moisture swings.

3.   Smothers weeds and stops weed seeds from germinating.

4.   Adds nutrients to the soil through gradual breakdown of the mulch.

5.   Controls erosion from wind and rain.

6.   Keeps fruits and vegetables and your feet clean.

7.   Provides a “finished” look in the garden.
