Mulch has many benefits
“Mulch keeps soils and plant roots warmer in winter and cooler in summer. A mulch layer around trees, shrubs, and planted beds provides many benefits. In areas that are difficult to mow, irrigate, or otherwise maintain, use mulch to replace turf or groundcovers. Also consider placing mulch in shady areas where many plants don’t grow well.” Florida Friendly Landscaping.
The traditional organic mulch is very popular in Central Florida, but decorative rocks are a growing trend. They come in a variety of styles, making it easy to add a touch of color to your property, lower maintenance, improve drainage, and suppress weeds.
Where to purchase mulch
Mulch from Reliable Peat offers the best quality, a premium not often found in bag mulch from big box stores. If you have any doubts, just look at the mulch itself. When you walk up to a pile of bulk mulch you can clearly physically see and even smell the quality. While bag mulch is a different story. It is hiding behind labels and logos. Often times it is wet and moldy, or even a different color than you were expecting.
Another reason to purchase bulk mulch is for the price and convince. Bag mulch can cost twice as much as bulk and you have the added convince of it being delivered to your home. Instead of going to the store and dragging them to the car and then unloading them once you get home.
