So, what is mulch and why should you mulch your gardens? Mulch is an organic or inorganic material that is spread over the soil in your gardens. Mulch decreases the maintenance required for your garden and offers benefits such as supporting soil health and fertility, reducing weed growth and soil erosion, improves water retention, and enhances the visual appeal of your garden.<\/p>\n

Organic mulch is typically made from processed wood chips or tree bark and will eventually decompose, adding organic matter to your garden soil. Black, brown or redwood chip mulch is dyed with environment-friendly dyes and can add an extra pop of colour to your gardens. A dark brown or black mulch is a nice way to create a contrast with your flowers and vegetation, making them stand out against the dark wood chips.
