Are you trying to determine whether mulch, pine straw, or rock are best for your landscaped flowerbeds? Organic mulch made from bark or shredded wood is an excellent option. Everyone loves fresh mulch in their landscaping beds, as it gives a fresh look and makes your landscape look brand new. Many don’t realize that mulch (and other ground covers) actually provides a lot of benefits beyond the visual appeal. Let’s check them out!
But What is Mulching?

Retains Moisture
When it’s scorching hot outside, humidity can evaporate quickly from your soil, leaving an arid bed for your plants. Mulch provides insulation and keeps moisture longer in your land, making water readily available for your plants.Weed Control

Pest Control
The use of certain types of mulch, such as cedar bark, can deter certain pests because it contains natural oils that act as an insect repellent. To get the most out of it, be sure to find a mulch with a strong scent, as it will have the most significant effect on insects. But beware, some mulches can encourage insects to come into your garden and sometimes into your home, therefore look for the type of mulch that will best satisfy your specific requirements.Helps Maintain Soil Nutrients
