Today, there are
various gardening products in the market that claim to keep
your garden fresh and lively forever. Black Bark Mulch is one such
product that is known for giving a lot of benefits to your garden.
Below are few of them:
Weed
Controllers: A nice, thick layer of this mulch stops the growth
of unwanted plants in two ways - first, by covering the soil
entirely and not letting the light to enter weed seeds, which is
necessary for the germination process. This deprivation prevents
them to grow at first place. Secondly, bare soil is the best place
for weed seeds to land and germinate. If you will cover your bare
soil throughout with mulch, most weeds will not be able to come into
contact with the soil. Therefore, this is the best weed control
method.
Mulch feeds
the soil – Bark mulches break down over time, adding organic
matter and nutrients to your soil. The microbes and worms present
in the soil break down organic mulches over time, resulting in
healthier soil life. Therefore, mulch is used not only for weed
control but it feeds soil as well.
Moderates
soil-temperature fluctuations – In cold-winter days, bark
mulch protects plant roots from cold and prevent frost-heaving.
While in hot-summer areas, mulching helps keep plant roots cooler.
Help retain
soil moisture – To grow healthy plants, you are required to
maintain a consistent level of moisture in your soil. A plant that
has a constant level of sufficient moisture is less susceptible to
become stressed. This means that it will be better able to resist
diseases and insects. In addition to keeping the soil moist, it also
keeps the soil cooler in hot weather. This extends the amount of
time taken by plants to bolt or go dormant. Some plants bloom best
in cooler conditions, and mulch helps keeping these plants blooming
longer.
