What is mulch?

Mulch is any shredded vegetation material you spread on the top of the ground and particularly in a garden.

Mulching benefits

Mulch insulates the soil, keeping the harsh sun from damaging the root system and keeps valuable moisture in the soil. It also assists in keeping weeds down, it looks natural, and is a fantastic help for plants as it adds vital nutrients into the soil as it breaks down and decomposes. It encourages healthy growth, improve soil quality and attracts valuable worm activity. And the best news is that any tree can easily be turned into mulch. What you garden loses when you lose a tree, your garden gains in spades when the tree is re-cycled and turned into mulch.

Maintaining your garden becomes less expensive because mulching means you require less fertilizer and less water. Up to 10cm of mulch on your garden is all it takes. It’s simple to apply and your plants will thank you for it.
