MULCHING IN Germantown, MD

WHY GO WITH MULCH?

Odds are you've seen mulch in gardens, but if you've ever wondered exactly what its objective is, you've come to the right place!

The principal advantage of mulch comes from its capacity to preserve soil moisture, but in addition, it helps fight weed growth and improve soil health and serves as a visually interesting addition to your yard. Mulch also helps to shield your soil from the elements. All told, mulch is actually a great way to keep your outdoor area looking great, and your soil chock full of nutrients.

A good deal of water can be lost due to evaporation, so mulch functions as a means to keep this from happening, while also being aesthetically pleasing. Mulch comes in many forms, so there's bound to be one that suits your requirements while also adding yet another intriguing visual component to your outdoor space.

Organic or Inorganic? The Choice is Yours!

Organic mulch types include peat moss, wood or bark chips, grass or straw, and pine needles. The individual draw of natural mulch is that it assists your outdoor spaces by introducing nutrients to the ground. As the mulch decomposes, nutrients are released, giving the surrounding region extra help in its growth cycle.

While this means your plants will get more of a boost than with inorganic mulch, it also needs a little more upkeep. Organic compost is a great option if you're willing to spend a little more time keeping it, as well as if your soil is in need of a little bit of extra nutrition. To emphasize the importance of healthy soil, we find it beneficial to remember that soil is an integral element of how crops gain their nourishment, so if soil is lacking from the proper nutrients then it's hard for your plants to actually thrive.

Inorganic mulch, while lacking the nourishing qualities of organic substances, is a good choice if you're looking for something which is a bit more hands-off, while still being visually pleasing. Inorganic mulch will not break down as quickly as its organic counterpart, which makes it a cost effective alternative to other kinds of compost. Should you go into the inorganic route, you could choose from options such as volcanic rock, an assortment of stones, in addition to plastics or fabrics.
