Why You should Incorporate Mulch into Your Lawn or Garden 

Mulch is a vital component of any healthy garden. It serves a multitude of purposes, from improving soil health to regulating temperature and controlling weeds. Here are 5 reasons why you should use mulch and how it can benefit your garden.  

1. Improved Soil Health

Mulch helps to enrich the soil by adding organic matter as it decomposes. As the mulch breaks down, it releases nutrients that can be absorbed by the plants in your garden. This can lead to stronger, healthier plants with more robust root systems.

2. Water Retention 

Mulch acts as a barrier between the soil and the air, helping to retain moisture in the ground. This is especially important in hot, dry conditions when the soil can easily dry out. Mulch helps to reduce the need for frequent watering, saving you time and money.

3. Weed Suppression

One of the most frustrating aspects of gardening is dealing with weeds. Mulch can help to suppress weed growth by blocking light from reaching the soil surface. This can save you time and energy that would otherwise be spent pulling weeds.

4. Temperature Regulation 

Mulch can help to regulate soil temperature, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This can be especially beneficial for plants that are sensitive to extreme temperatures or have shallow root systems. 

5. Erosion Control

Mulch is also effective at preventing erosion on sloping ground or in areas with heavy rainfall. It helps to keep the soil in place, preventing it from washing away or becoming compacted.
