The advantages of mulch are plentiful and varied, from maintaining soil nutrients to preventing erosion. Here's a closer look at just a few of the benefits:


  • Retains Moisture: Since mulch absorbs water, covering the soil with it limits evaporation. Retaining moisture is vital for plant growth and health, and it's especially helpful during the hot and dry times of the year.
  • Feeds Plants: Water isn't the only thing mulch retains. Your plants will also benefit from both the nutrients it keeps from washing away and the nutrients organic mulch releases into the soil.
  • Prevents Weeds: Weeds are such a common problem in gardens that their overabundance is all but guaranteed. Thankfully, mulch will act as a barrier and limit the amount of sunlight they receive.
  • Compost: Mulch as compost is one of the best ways to help revitalize your garden and find a use for all that yard waste you would have otherwise trashed.
