Mulching for your Garden


Mulch is nothing more than a layer of protective material that is placed over the soil around your plants. It can be an organic material, a  mineral or a synthetic material.

Mulch acts as a natural insulator for flower and plant beds and also suppresses the growth of weeds. As organic mulch decompose over time, it promotes fertility by adding nutrients to the soil. Spreading mulch over the soil is a great way to keep your plants hydrated while costing you less in water bills.  Here are 5 great mulch materials for your garden.
