Mulch is universally defined as an aesthetic ground covering used to retain soil moisture, to control weeds and soil erosion, and to act as soil insulation.

When selecting mulch, it is important to know exactly what characteristics our customers are looking for. Our  mulch consists of solely organic materials. One of the most important characteristics of mulch selection is its ability for gas exchange between the underlying soil and air.  Good gas exchange is directly related to water penetration capability of the mulch.  As well as water penetration, it is important for a mulch to conserve soil moisture by reducing water evaporation by the sun, wind, and low atmospheric humidity.

High quality mulches should have most, if not all, of the following characteristics:

• weed growth prevention
• soil erosion prevention
• long-term effectiveness
• colour retention over multiple seasons
• uniform texture, generally fibrous particles
• little or no dispersal by wind and moving water
• adequate ageing to reduce nitrogen immobilization
• keeps soil moist, therefore making nutrients more available to plant
