Think about our urban and suburban lives. Poor soil; unnatural fluctuations in heat and moisture; we rake up our leaves and cover the soil with concrete.
Think about trees in their natural forest environment. The soil has a blanket of leaves and other organic stuff, which is decomposing, providing the soil with a constant source of nutrients.
Mulch actually improves the soil! As mulch decomposes it adds humus and micro-nutrients to the soil. Additionally, studies have shown that the tree roots below mulch tend to have very high mycorrhiza colonies.
Mulch encourages the presence of earthworms which improve soil structure and add nutrients. But possibly the best reason for mulching your landscape beds is it looks terrific!
Does your garden suffer due to lack of water retention, poor soil quality, or an abundance of weeds? Get your landscaping under control with help from Wholesale Wood Products. We provide high quality bulk mulch and compost for clients in the Atlanta area and enjoy helping local customers find ways to improve the condition of their favorite trees, shrubs, flower beds, and lawns. If you are ready to invest but want some tips on how to get the most from mulching this spring, here are some recommendations.
Prepare the Area
The first step is to fully prepare your designated area. Doing so will maximize the benefits of your mulch. Be sure to trim and prune bushes and nearby trees. Pull out existing weeds and remove unwanted plants and debris from your flower beds. Once finished, level the ground with a rake and incorporate edging if desired.
Find Quality Landscape Mulch
Next, you will need to acquire premium wood mulch. Many beginning gardeners will simply purchase small bags of mulch from their local grocery or hardware store. However, this is not the ideal solution. In many cases, this mulch has been sitting in a warehouse or on the shelf for months or even years. It may have already begun breaking down inside the bag and may have been exposed to undesirable chemicals or excess moisture. In addition, bagged mulch is often very expensive, especially if you need large quantities. When you buy from Wholesale Wood Products, you are getting the freshest ground mulch possible since it is made from local trees. Best of all, you will receive the best quality wood mulch for the best price; we also deliver to clients who live in our service area.
Pick the Best Color
Wood mulch already provides a great addition to any landscape design but choosing the right variety creates a splash of color that will further showcase the beauty of your property. We offer natural wood mulch, as well as black and brown mulch, which has been tinted with natural, environmentally friendly materials.
Apply the Mulch
Finally, it is time to apply the mulch to your garden space. Keep in mind that if your layers are too thick, then you could suffocate roots or encourage plant disease. On the other hand, using too little can be ineffective and wasteful. For best results, try to apply a layer of mulch that is two to three inches deep.
