Reasons to Use Mulch Beyond Appearance
Soil Moisture Retention: Mulch helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation, ensuring plants have a steady supply of water.
Weed Suppression: A thick layer of mulch prevents weed seeds from germinating, reducing the need for herbicides and manual weeding.
Soil Temperature Regulation: Mulch insulates the soil, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, protecting plant roots from extreme temperatures.
Erosion Control: Mulch helps prevent soil erosion by breaking the impact of raindrops and reducing runoff.
Nutrient Addition: Organic mulches decompose over time, adding valuable nutrients to the soil and improving its structure.
Pest Control: Some types of mulch, like cedar and cypress, have natural pest-repellent properties, helping to protect plants from insects.
Aesthetic Appeal: Mulch provides a neat, uniform appearance to garden beds and landscapes, enhancing curb appeal.
