Now is the time to lay the groundwork for healthy Central Florida landscape and garden this spring. Beautiful home landscapes don’t just happen, it is an art, that requires care, patience, and a bit of wisdom. It all starts with quality mulch.
The secret to a vibrant, beautiful landscape lies what you put on top of the soil. The advantages of mulch can make all the difference!
Improve Soil Structure; Unseen Nourishment
As organic mulch breaks down, it adds vital nutrients and organic matter into the soil, improving the soil structure. The decaying matter also attracts beneficial insects, it allows water and air to penetrate the ground, and enhances drainage, which is important for plants establishing roots.
Nature’s Blanket; Maintain the Temperature of the Soil
Mulch also insulates the soil, moderating the temperature of the soil. Mulch keeps the soil warmer during the cooler months and cooler during the hot months.
Silent Guardian of Weed Control;
Applying mulch in your landscape and garden during the cooler months will help prevent weeds from growing when the warmer weather starts to set in. Mulch around plants and walkways will significantly reduce the amount of weeds you will have deal with later this spring.
The Finishing Touch and Aesthetic Appeal
Organic mulch gives your home that manicured look. It is also great for creating walkways and paths for an aesthetically pleasing and eye appealing appearance
It is Important to Purchase a Quality Mulch
Those bags found at many big box stores have weed seeds and/or hazardous chemicals, that end up causing you more work and contaminate your soil.
Mulch is a cost effective way to improve the health and look of your landscaping. Equally as important, is where you purchase the mulch. Quality mulch will be free of weed seeds and harmful chemicals.
