Mulch is a very important component of Central Florida landscapes and gardens. Most people use mulch to make their home more attractive and landscape easier to maintain, but it also increases the soil’s water absorption and retention, improves aeration wheel preventing soil compaction.
“There are many materials that are used for mulching, each having different characteristics. When selecting the right mulch for the landscape, it is important to consider how you will use it. For permanent plants such as trees and shrubs, use organic mulches that persist for more than one season. On vegetable and flower beds, use organic mulches that breakdown in one season and are decomposed enough by the end of the season and can be plowed into the soil. In this sense, “organic” refers to materials that are plant based (bark, straw, wood chips, etc.). Materials such as gravel and stone are considered inorganic mulches.” University of Massachusetts Extension Landscape, Nursery and Urban Forestry.
Purchasing organic mulch by the individual bag is not a very cost efficient way to go. You can save a significant amount of money by purchasing mulch in bulk. You can also save a lot of time and effort by having it delivered to your home
“Mulches come in different colors. The color does not matter to the plants, and is only for aesthetic purposes. There is no evidence that dyes used in coloring mulches are toxic. However if planning to use colored wood mulches, it is important to know the supplier and the source of wood used to make the mulch. Avoid mulches from recycled wood if it includes pressure treated wood (this mulch could be contaminated with chromated copper arsenate).”
