Why add MULCH?

Показать описание
Adding mulch means more good things will happen in your soil. Increased moisture, fewer temperature fluctuations, and more organic matter lead to more worm activity and beneficial soil microorganisms. That means healthier soil and plants. ⁣

• Mulching your garden helps slow evaporation: A thick mulch layer means less moisture is lost through evaporation. You can then water less frequently, saving money and time! ⁣

• Helps regulate soil temperature: Hot soil is hard on plants. Mulch keeps the sun off the soil, so the soil stays cooler. Thick mulch helps insulate it even more. Higher soil temperatures slow plant growth, and mulch moderates that temperature. Mulch shades the soil from the sun’s direct rays causing less temperature variation. ⁣

• Mulching your garden helps prevent and control weeds: Mulching blocks the sunlight needed for weeds to germinate and often smothers existing weeds.⁣

• Mulching adds organic matter to your garden: When you add natural mulch in the form of bark, straw, or compost, they are incorporated into the soil and add nutrients and organic matter. ⁣

When I mulch, my vegetable garden are use alfalfa… I go down and buy a bale, and because it’s nitrogen fixing it just makes everything in the garden grow like crazy while it breaks down
