The Benefits of Mulching Melbourne for Your Lawn

A common service offered by lawn service companies is mulching. Mulching is the best and simplest process to maintain healthy and well-protected soil in gardens. Those who garden regularly will know, not having something to protect the soil of your flower beds and vegetables from the changing weather conditions are definitely not ideal.

As an added layer of soil protection, mulch provides gardeners a perfect solution against soil erosion. Soil erodes for different reasons; both wind and water can cause soil to erode. With mulch as reinforcement against these causes, the soil you have in your garden can maintain its integrity and remain unperturbed no matter how intense the water current or strong the wind is. Aside from preventing erosion, mulching also prevents crusting and compaction in the soil.

Mulch can be made of organic and non-organic elements. Grass clippings, twigs, dead leaves, fallen branches, straw and other plant debris are some organic elements that can make up mulch. Stones, plastics and bricks, on the other hand, make up non-organic mulch. Whether organic or non-organic, mulch can significantly reduce the harsh impacts of heavy rains on soil. It is also a powerful windbreaker for soil during typhoons.

With mulching as a lawn service, you can significantly control the amount of water you use in keeping your garden healthy, this is because mulch prevents soil from drying up as quickly; thus allowing you to water your garden less.

Aside from saving the cost of frequent watering during the summer, adding mulch to the topsoil of your summer flower beds and trees helps keep moisture in. When soil is regularly moist, you do not have to worry about your soil cracking under the sun. Mulch also insulates the soil as it prevents it from drying up. Soil that has a layer of mulch also maintains cooler temperatures. When soil is always moist and the temperature does not shoot up, flowers and trees are able to grow more beautifully and evenly. Likewise, mulch is also important on the topsoil during winter as it keeps soil warm. Mulch is the universal insulating blanket that can be used during the cold and warm seasons.

Also, with mulching, the growth of weeds can be prevented. Instead of resorting to chemical-based weed control solutions, opting for mulch can be the best organic way to address this common gardener's problem. As a tip, it is best to pull all weeds first from the soil before adding that layer of mulch. A 4-inch layer of mulch can prevent weed seeds from growing, and the deeper the mulch is applied, the better it is at stopping weed germination.

Lastly, you get to do your share of saving the environment with Mulching Melbourne. Since mulch is composed mainly of plant debris and recycled materials such as grass clippings, the growing problems in the landfills are greatly addressed. Instead of throwing these recycled yard trimmings in the dumpster, using them again as mulch can help strike the balance in the ecosystem. Further, by recycling organic components to make mulch, the effects of chemicals on soil integrity are addressed as well.
