Mulch For Your Garden

Greenwood Grandma's Lounge

Mulch is a great addition to every garden.  With Southern California facing drought conditions and water restrictions being instituted, mulch can be a great tool in your arsenal.  Keeping a 2″ -4 ” layer of mulch around your plants will help retain moisture in the soil, protect the roots of your plants and even help reduce weeds in your garden.

Mulch made of organic material is great for the soil, it adds nutrients as it decomposes and welcomes beneficial insects.  Mulch made of rocks and pebbles can make a bold design statement and work great with succulents.

I personally prefer bark mulch for the properties it adds to the soil, and I like the look of it as well.  There are many beautiful natural bark mulches that you can purchase, and you can often find a local tree company that is willing to let you have some of their wood chips too.

Here is the link to How to Choose Mulch – a primer on various types of mulch and how to use them.

If you would like to create a Garden paradise or even a Container Garden paradise please think about calling me to help you design it.   I love to collaborate with my clients, and would love to collaborate with you.  Call me at 661-917-3521 or visit my website and contact me there.
