Why You Need to Mulch in the Summer

Here is why you should prioritize spreading mulch during the summer.

Is your garden starting to die out? Are you ready to revitalize your garden for the remainder of the summer? If so, you need to keep your garden as healthy as possible and establish a strong landscape foundation for the remainder of the year. Mulch helps promote the health of your garden. It’s a necessity for any garden if you want it to thrive. Here is why you should prioritize spreading mulch during the summer.

Mulch Helps With Water Conservation

With mulch, you won’t have to do as much watering. The amount of watering you’ll have to do can go down more than 50%. This has to with how well mulch retains moisture. Because of mulch’s properties, your soil will stay at a consistent temperature, all while preventing weeds from growing. With all of these factors working together, you’ll have a garden structure that has improved water management.

Mulch Keeps Your Soil Safe During Intense Summer Weather

Mulching gives your garden a secure, protective, and functional layer on top of your soil. It keeps moisture inside of your garden. This helps get water to your roots more easily to promote healthy plant growth.

Mulch is Needed for Optimal Garden Health

Mulch not only serves as fantastic drainage, but it also defends your garden against weeds and moderates your soil’s temperature. You’ll get an organic protective layer that replicates what happens in rainforests. On top of that, you’ll attract various beneficial insects to your garden that help promote the health of your garden and plants.

Your Landscape Won’t Need as Much Maintenance

Mulch is also handy because it doesn’t require much in terms of maintenance. All you need to do is keep your soil topped off and you should be good to go. This should be done every one or two years. If you want help with mulching, you can contact a local landscaping company and they’ll see to it that your garden is thoroughly covered.
