Depending on your theme, layout or the colors of your flowers you can choose whichever color suits you best. No matter the color, they all provide the same benefits.
- Retain Moisture:
Aside from adding a pop of color to your yard or garden, mulch is also a great way to retain moisture in your soil which is surely appreciated by your plants. It also prevents erosion of the soil that may occur from heavy rain and winds.
- Weed Reduction:
Use mulch to suppress weeds. You will certainly see a difference in the number of weeds that formulate around your plants and in your soil.
- Be cool:
Mulch insulates your soil, keeping it at a cool temperature for your plants which can prevent the sun from penetrating the soil on a scolding hot day in keeping your plants alive.
- Increase Soil Quality:
As your mulch breaks down it can also improve the quality of your soil because mulch contains plant nutrients and minerals. It also provides beneficial microorganisms to the soil.
