Mulch is beneficial in many different ways. Is suppresses weeds from popping up, therefore reducing the amount of time you spend in the garden picking them! Even if these sneaky little weeds do pop through, mulch makes them a lot easier to remove.  Mulch also lessens the amount of watering.  It acts as a barrier that prevents the process of evaporation from occurring. 

​

Mulch acts as an insulator in periods of extreme cold and heat, which in turn protects your plants root systems from being damaged.  Another benefit would be the reduction of soil compaction and erosion. When the soil is loose, it yields happy and healthy plants. However, loose soil can trigger erosion to occur.  The weight of mulch on top of the soil will prevent it from running away during periods of heavy rain. Not only does mulch provide a happy and healthy home for your plants, but it also gives your home and landscaping a polished clean look.
