Benefits of mulch

Mulch is extremely important and is applied for more than aesthetic reasons. 

Mulch is beneficial because it:

•  prevents erosion,

•  conserves soil moisture and keeps tree roots cool during summer,

•  buffers temperature extremes during winter freezes and hot summer weather,

•  suppresses germination of weed seeds,

•  is aesthetically pleasing and provides unity among a group of planting beds

Mulch can be applied incorrectly and can lead to a plant's eventual death.  Learn more about the most common instance, the mulch volcano.
