Mulch/Bedding

Mulching is an important part of any landscape and garden design.

Mulch is used for various purposes:

to adjust temperature by helping soil retain more heat in spring and fall, and by keeping soil cool and even out temperature swings during hot and variable summer conditions
to control weeds by blocking the sunlight
to retain water by slowing evaporation
to add organic matter and nutrients to the soil through the gradual breakdown of the mulch material
to repel insects
for erosion control - protects soil from rain and preserves moisture
for sediment control - slows runoff velocity
