Major Applications of Organic Mulches in Garden Landscapes
Key applications of organic mulch in garden landscapes:
1. Broken bark. It is a common and cheap covering, and there are many materials, such as various conifers and cypresses. It is especially suitable for planting with slopes that are not easy to slip. You can also buy offcuts from the timber factory.
2. Dried leaves. Can be preserved in autumn and winter. Fallen leaves decompose quickly. You can crush them and mulch them over soil before using them. This mulch is often used for winter soil cover.
3. Grass. Free overlays. But grass also decomposes quickly and can turn it into nutrients for the soil. Best applied in a thin layer, generally until the grass is dry to avoid rancidity.
4. Straw. Straw has a beautiful color and decomposes more slowly than leaves and grass. But make sure the stalks are free of weeds, or you could end up with a weed overgrowth.
5. Lumpy pine bark. Pine bark also degrades slowly, but is less stable, so it is not suitable for use on slopes that are easily washed away by heavy rain. The size of the pine bark can be freely selected, the larger the degradation, the slower it will be.
6. Sawdust. This can be obtained for free from nearby lumber mills, especially those fresh sawdust that can easily absorb nutrients from the soil and change the pH of the soil.
7. Husk. It is one of the most beautiful mulches because of the beautiful shape and rich color of the husk, and many gardeners love the coffee aroma of cocoa husk. It is one of the most expensive mulches and is also very resistant to degradation.
Organic mulch is also known as "the most environmentally friendly, most economical and most friendly" garden covering material. It has comprehensive ecological, social and economic benefits.
