Mulching is a simple yet effective way to enhance your garden’s health and appearance. At Donnelly’s Garden Supplies, we offer a variety of mulch options to suit your gardening needs.
What is Mulch?
Mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of soil to conserve moisture, improve fertility, and reduce weed growth.
Benefits of Mulching:
Moisture Retention: Mulch helps soil retain water, reducing the need for frequent watering.
Weed Suppression: A thick layer of mulch can prevent weed seeds from germinating.
Soil Temperature Regulation: Mulch keeps soil cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Aesthetic Appeal: Mulch provides a finished look to garden beds.
Types of Mulch Available at Donnelly’s Garden Supplies:
Organic Mulch: Includes wood chips, bark, and leaf mulch, which decompose over time, enriching the soil.
Inorganic Mulch: Such as pebbles and stones, which are long-lasting and ideal for decorative purposes.
How to Apply Mulch:
- Clear the area of weeds and debris.
- Apply a 5-10cm layer of mulch around plants, keeping it away from stems and trunks to prevent rot.
- Replenish mulch annually or as needed.
