Mulch & Soil

Got Mulch?  Its Fat Free and Packed with Nutrients – Landscape Mulch & Soil

Okay, raise your hand if you want healthier plants. That looks like just about everyone except for the wacky guy in the back.

Now for the rest of you, garden plants love organic mulch and healthy soil. They are two essential ingredients for smiling landscape garden plants.

From an aesthetic view point, mulch your beds with strong bed lines. They provide garden definition and form. Plants are visually enhanced by the mulch’s consistent neutral color. While the subtle texture provided by landscape mulch unites your garden.

Ahhh ….. It’s the biological action of landscape mulch & soil that turns your red clay soil to brown soil. Billions of microbial critters working together recycling nutrients through biological actions. Good stuff. Plants love it. Pumps up your plants naturally with the good stuff.

McPlants knows landscape mulch and soils that work.

Mulch also provides soil insulation protecting root systems from hot dry summers along with winter soil warmth. Proper mulching will suppress the weeds that steal water and nutrients with proper mulching.

You can’t get enough mulch. Well, yes you can. A two to four inch mulch layer is perfect for holding moisture in the soil. Too much mulch can harm your plants. Never pile it against the trunk or stem of the plant.

Mulch is a key in preventing soil compaction that is detrimental to root systems. Importantly, mulched beds are excellent buffers for your tree trunks and plant stems against runaway lawn mowers and string trimmers.

It is super important to avoid the dreaded mulch volcano erupting in your landscape. Piling mulch around plant trunks and stems is an invitation for diseases, insects, and rodents to party down.

Low and wide mulched beds produce better healthier plants.
