Tip of the Day: Mulching is a good thing

Wood mulching your plants is a good thing in more ways than one.

1. Mulch keeps ground moist for plants and you can save water and $$.

2. Mulch minimizes weeds and unwanted plants.

3. Mulch brings nutrients to soil: decaying (breakdown) mulch involves sucking nitrogen from surrounding environment and nitrogen is good for plants.

4. Mulch is environmental friendly.

Cedar Mulch will be your best bet for termites and other pest control. Cedar mulch will have a slower decaying rate than other types of mulches therefore you don't have to replace it as often.
