Using mulch is more than just about making your landscaping beautiful, there are many benefits of bark mulch! Mulch is both an attractive \u201cfinishing touch\u201d and an important part of your garden health. Mulch saves water, adds organic matter, improves the health of your soil and much more!<\/p>\n

The Many Benefits of Bark Mulch:<\/h2>\n

At\u00a0Just Mulch<\/a>, our organic bark mulch is the perfect addition to your landscaping and garden beds for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n

Adds Organic Matter<\/h3>\n

Mulch adds organic matter to your soil as it decomposes and makes your garden less susceptible to pests and plant disease. Mulch provides slow-release nutrients and prevents vitamin loss in plants which saves you money on fertilizer and ammenders.<\/p>\n

Provides Insulation<\/h3>\n

Since mulched soil tends to be much warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than bare soil, mulching can help protect roots from extreme temperatures. Mulch keeps roots consistently cool in summer and warm in winter which reduces the amount of plant stress and creates a stronger plant.<\/p>\n

Saves Water<\/h3>\n

Mulch can retain up to 70% more water<\/strong> in the soil than unmulched soil! Adding a layer of mulch to the soil around shrubs and trees can help reduce moisture loss in the summer by preventing sunlight from reaching and heating the soil. This saves you both time and water!<\/p>\n

Prevents Soil Erosion & Compaction<\/h3>\n

Bare soil that is impacted by rain or sprinkler water can often disperse and break apart. Mulching around trees and shrubs will help prevent water runoff by creating a sponge-like surface that absorbs water and slows it down. It also reduces soil compaction and creates a favourable environment for worms and microorganisms which improves the health of your garden bed.<\/p>\n

Recycles Waste Materials<\/h3>\n

This is one of the biggest benefits in our opinion. Mulch is made from wood waste material (tree bark, etc) and we LOVE to recycle forest residuals into useful products!<\/p>\n

Slows Weed Growth<\/h3>\n

While mulch won’t stop all weeds completely, it does slow weed growth and prevent many weeds that haven’t taken root from germinating and growing.<\/p>\n

Improves Appearance<\/h3>\n

Using mulch makes the area more attractive by dressing up with texture and colour and allowing your plants to pop against the backdrop!<\/p>\n
