SUPERIOR RED MULCH
25.00 TTD
Lessen the amount of weeding work you have to do in your garden by putting down mulch. A blanket of mulch three to four inches deep will smother weeds and keep weed seeds from sprouting. Weeds that do pop up will be easier to remove, since their roots wonât go deep into the soil.
Organic mulch encourages earthworms to move in. The worms dig tunnels that help bring air and water into the soil. They also break down leaves and other organic materials. Their waste is excreted in the form of castings. Castings act like a kind of fertilizer, helping plants grow.
Mulch helps regulate the temperature of the soil. Plant roots stay cooler when the temperatures rise.
Layer the mulch two or three inches deep, so water and air can still reach plant roots.
Watering and rainfall can wash away your soil, but mulch helps prevent erosion. It lessens the impact of the water droplets as they hit the ground. Heavy mulches can help control erosion in areas with strong winds.
Mulch can also help keep the soil from compacting in areas that get a lot of foot traffic.
