Mulch helps the soil retain moisture during time of drought, yet it allows excess water to evaporate.
As the mulch breaks down, it add organic matter to the soil, thus creating a better environment for your plants.
Mulch combined with a pre-emrge can effectively keep weeks out of your landscaping.
Whether you use black, brown, red, hardwood, pine or cypress mulch, make sure you mulch your beds at least once a year.
