Tips on Mulching

When we mulch our main aim is to suppress weeds to make our life in the garden a little easier, but mulching has many other benefits which include:

• Conserves moisture in soil which means less watering
• Maintains soil temperature protecting plant roots from summer sun and winter frosts
• Reduces soil compaction
• Reduces soil erosion
• Provides organic matter as it decomposes.
• Provides a decorative finish to areas in the garden

Before applying your mulch make sure all areas are free of un-wanted weeds and plants, dig over area to loosen soil and apply any fertilizers or plant feeds. For added benefits you can use a ground cover over the area you are going to mulch as this will provide extra protection against weed growth and extend the life of your mulch. Spread your mulch to a minimum depth of 50mm over the area, taking care that the mulch is not piled up around the base of plants as this can cause them to rot. On a regular basis it is a good idea to rake over your beds to ensure that your mulch is maintained at the required depth and if not top up. If done properly mulching should provide 2-3 years of cost effective weed control.
