Wondering if you should add bark mulch<\/a> in the fall? The answer is YES! Adding mulch in the fall insulates your soil and plant roots, helping them to react less to the temperature swings that happen through the changing seasons. It also improves your soil health by adding valuable nutrients and organic matter as well as reducing soil erosion and our favourite reason, you’ll enjoy less weeds in spring! Check out all the benefits below and order your organic mulch!<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Enjoy Less Weeds in Spring!<\/h2>\n

Add a layer of mulch<\/a> in fall to enjoy less weeds in spring! Mulch not only nourishes the soil, it also helps to suppress weed growth by suffocating weeds and depriving them of needed sunlight.<\/p>\n

2. Improve Soil Health<\/h2>\n

All our products are organic and as the organic matter in mulch breaks down, it releases nutrients, minerals and nitrogen to enrich your soil throughout fall and winter. Healthier soil leads to healthier shoots and blooms in spring! Fall mulching also gives soil-improving earthworms and microbes added warmth and quality food for the winter.<\/p>\n

3. Protect Your Roots<\/h2>\n

Mulching helps to insulate plant roots by raising the freezing point of the soil and leveling out the temperature fluctuations that are most common in autumn. Cycles of freezing and thawing can wreak havoc on delicate root systems and a layer of mulch<\/a> can reduce the impacts of these temperature swings, helping your plants remain strong and experience less stress.<\/p>\n

4. Stop Soil Erosion<\/h2>\n

Our wintertime wind, rain and snow can cause soil erosion, leaving your plants exposed to the elements and losing valuable soil. Mulching prevents soil erosion by forming a barrier between the topsoil and the elements. Add a layer of mulch 2-4 inches deep to your garden and landscaped areas to prevent losing your soil at protect your plants, trees and shrubs throughout the changing seasons. Not sure how much mulch you need? Try our handy soil and mulch\u00a0calculator<\/a>\u00a0to quickly determine how many bags to order!<\/p>\n

5. Preserve Perennials<\/h2>\n

Fall is the perfect time to add a layer of mulch around your perennials. Mulch protects and insulates your plants from changing temperatures, preventing roots and stalks from getting stressed or frostbitten. Our\u00a0organic mulches<\/a>\u00a0will also break down over time, providing valuable nutrients into the soil for happy and healthy plants.<\/p>\n
