Mulching involves applying a layer of material to the soil surface in your garden. This layer, typically 2 to 4 inches thick, is placed around your plants. It should be an integral part of your lawn care plan, as it offers numerous benefits, including:
- Suppresses weed growth.
- Retains soil moisture.
- Prevents water evaporation.
- Maintains a consistent soil temperature.
- Adds a decorative touch to your landscape.

Different Types of Mulch We Can Apply
Mulch falls into two categories: organic and inorganic. Both types suppress weeds, but organic mulches improve soil health as they decompose. Inorganic mulches do not decompose but can warm the soil, benefiting heat-loving plants like eggplants and cherry tomatoes.
- Chips: Ideal for flower beds, pathways, and shrub borders. It is not recommended for annual flower beds and vegetable gardens.
- Stones: Excellent for rock and cacti gardens, but they increase soil temperature and do not aid in soil health.
- Grass Clippings: Release nutrients as they decompose, but they can attract pests.
- Cocoa Hulls: Contain beneficial nutrients but may attract pests and develop mold in humid climates.
- Wood Shavings: Reduce water and fertilizer needs but can block airflow, causing root rot and fungus.
- Straw: Builds healthy soil and regulates moisture and temperature, but may contain seeds that produce weeds.
- Bark Chips: Absorb water and last longer, but they may deplete soil nitrogen as they decompose.
- Pine Straw: Low-maintenance and helps control erosion, but needs frequent replacement and can attract pests.
