Why to use ONLY double processed premium mulch
Mulch is more than decorative. It is used to:
- Retain Moisture
- Retard weeds
- Provide Nutrients
- Control Erosion
- Insulate the Soil
There are several types of mulches available for purchase. The most common in the United States are hardwood, cypress, pine and cedar mulch. Hardwood and pine mulches break down and release nutrients into the soil. Cypress and cedar mulches break down significantly slower making the two usable primarily for decorative purposes only.
Beware of the “cheaper” mulches that use words such as: economy, nature, or garden blends. These mulches can contain ground up pallets, diseased trees, or unknown harmful chemicals. As the old saying goes, “nothing in life is free.” Companies that offer free and wood chips are saving money by giving it away rather than paying for disposal. Beware of these “deals” as there is typically no way to find out where the product originated, whether or not it was treated, or the potential harm it may bring to your plants.
