Tips on choosing a professional
lawn care service
Keeping your lawn green
Adding
mulch to your garden will improve the health of the
soil and beautify the appearance of your
landscaping.
Cover garden beds with a layer of mulch to keep
weeds down and reduce the need for water. Annual
weed seeds are less likely to sprout when the soil
is covered with enough mulch to keep the soil
surface in the dark.
When it comes to water, even a thin layer of mulch
(nature's moisturizer) will reduce evaporation from
the soil surface. Thicker mulches can reduce water
use by as much as 50 percent.
Mulches vary in their appearance, makeup, and
texture, which will influence how you use them. Here
are some examples:
-
Varying
appearances: For a soothing, natural-looking
garden, use dark-colored organic mulches made of
bark or compost. For a brilliant-looking garden,
consider a mulch of bright gravel. In
utilitarian gardens such as vegetable gardens,
straw makes an excellent mulch. Avoid colored
mulch or beauty bark.
Soil
improvement: This calls for the use of organic
mulches that break down to add organic matter to
the soil.
Texture:
For maximum effectiveness with only a thin mulch
layer, look for fine-textured mulches such as
twice-shredded bark, compost, or cocoa hulls.
For an airy mulch, try thicker layers of
coarse-textured mulches such as straw or bark
chunks.
