Mulch

Why use mulch? Mulch is used normally as a decorative ground cover; however, mulch helps to retain moisture for plants and acts as erosion control during heavy rain. Mulch is also a natural weed barrier because it doesn’t allow sunlight through it. Mulch keeps temperatures in the soil moderate during hot summer days and it protects many plants during winter. One additional benefit of mulch is that it eventually breaks down and enriches the soil.

Typically, spring is the best time to install mulch as a good weed barrier. Installing 2 to 3 inches of mulch is normally recommended but a 3 to 4 inch layer is necessary for new areas to aid with moisture retention. A general rule is one cubic yard covers approximately 100 square feet at 3 to 4 inches deep.
