Mulch Beds: Your Garden's Eco-Friendly Blanket

Spring is here and according to Doshi Group Landscaping, it's time to start thinking about mulch beds, which are like cozy blankets for your garden, cuddling up your plants, shrubs, and trees in eco-friendly style! They also work wonders by conserving water, keeping weeds at bay, and giving your garden that extra pizzazz!

Mulch beds serve several purposes:

Weed suppression: Mulch helps prevent weed growth by blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds, thus reducing the need for manual weeding or herbicide use.

Moisture retention: Mulch acts as a barrier that helps retain moisture in the soil by reducing evaporation. This is particularly beneficial during hot and dry periods, as it reduces the frequency of watering required for plants.

Soil insulation: Mulch helps moderate soil temperature by providing insulation. It keeps the soil cooler in hot weather and warmer in cold weather, which can promote healthier root growth and protect plants from extreme temperature fluctuations.

Soil improvement: Organic mulches, as they decompose, add organic matter to the soil, enriching it with nutrients and improving soil structure. This contributes to overall soil health and fertility over time.

Erosion control: Mulch helps prevent soil erosion by reducing the impact of raindrops and wind on the soil surface. This is particularly important on sloped areas where soil erosion can be a concern.
