Mulch plays a major factor for homeowners who like to keep their landscape healthy and looking good. Understanding the effectiveness and life expectancy of the mulch you use can ensure your landscape stays looking amazing and your investment pays off.
The Lifespan Of Your Mulch
How long will your mulch last? This is a question we get often at Reliable Peat, the answer depends on what type of mulch you use and the environment the mulch has to cope with. Here in Central Florida, with the harsh weather conditions, organic mulch typically needs to be replaced annually. Larger pine mulch will decompose slower than smaller bark mulch.
Environmental Influences on Mulch
The high temperatures, sunlight, and humidity can cause organic mulch to break down quicker than stones and rocks.
Art of Mulch Maintenance
The quality and freshness of the mulch as well as the application, affect the performance of the mulch. For instance, if you are using bagged mulch from a big box store, do you know how old it is? In some cases, bagged mulch can be several months if not years old. They can also contain construction debris, hazardous, and toxic materials
Purchase quality mulch is very important, not only will it last longer, but is better for your landscape.
Purchasing mulch from an unreliable source can cause all your hard work to go to waste. For instance, if the bag of mulch you purchased at the big box store had noxious seeds, you could be spending the rest of the season pulling weeds and trying to repair the damages instead of admiring your beautiful landscape.
