Northern Mulch

Mulch helps retain soil moisture by reducing water evaporation from the soil surface. This is especially beneficial in hot and dry weather, as it helps plants maintain consistent moisture levels.

Mulch protects the soil from erosion caused by wind and water. It acts as a protective layer, reducing the impact of raindrops and preventing the soil from being washed away.

Organic mulches, as they decompose, release nutrients into the soil. This can contribute to the overall fertility of the soil and benefit plant growth.

Mulch acts as a barrier, suppressing the growth of weeds by blocking sunlight and preventing weed seeds from reaching the soil. This can reduce the need for manual weeding and the use of herbicides.

Mulch insulates the soil, helping to regulate soil temperature. It keeps the soil cooler in hot weather and warmer in cold weather, creating a more stable environment for plant roots.

Mulch can help prevent certain plant diseases by acting as a barrier between the soil and plant foliage. This can reduce the likelihood of soil-borne diseases splashing onto plants during rain or watering.

By covering the soil, mulch can help reduce compaction caused by heavy rainfall or foot traffic. This promotes better root growth and water infiltration.

Protect against ice melters and road salt that can otherwise damage the plants around your garden.

Mulch provides a layer between the soil and our furry friends paws, making sure they don’t track unwanted dirt into the home.
