In last week’s blog, we talked about the benefits of black mulch in your Central Florida landscapes and gardens. Encompassing both practical utility and aesthetic value.
The rich color of black mulch absorbs the light, instead of reflecting it, which is highly effective when it comes to preventing weeds from germinating.
As black mulch gradually decomposes, it provides valuable nutrients into the soil. Boosting the fertility and organic matter in the soil, ensuring healthy and strong plants.
Keep in mind they quality of black mulch you purchase is very important. High quality mulch will naturally decompose, without any adverse effects.
Some bagged mulches are known to release potentially harmful materials and chemicals into the soil. Which is why it is important to choose a trustworthy company to purchase your mulch. A healthy eco-system is important to your plants and the environment.
With all of Central Florida’s torrential downpours and strong winds, erosion is often a big problem with landscapes and gardens. Black mulch is a very effective ground cover to prevent erosion.
Black mulch also has the added benefits of allowing water to be defused evenly. This allows moisture to reach every part of the soil. The rich color adds an aesthetic beauty, just imagine beautiful greens and colored flowers pop against the dark background.
“I have found black mulch to be invaluable in our home garden AND our Community Garden. We’ve grown tomatoes with and without it and the mulch makes a huge difference in what the fruit looks like and how much we get. It’s a true garden help.” Living In The Green
