What Type of Mulch Should I Use?
We recommend using locally sourced, natural mulch free of dyes and chemicals. Mulch without harmful additives enriches the soil as it breaks down, adding organic matter, improving soil structure, and retaining moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering. Untreated mulch fosters a healthy ecosystem of microorganisms in the soil, which are essential for overall plant health, and creates a safer environment for beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife in your garden.
