We spread mulch in our flower beds, because it helps our outdoor space look attractive, neat and well-manicured. Mulch also adds a beautiful splash of contrasting colors to landscaping, emphasizing the deep emerald green of our lawns and gardens against the deep brown, black, or red hue of our mulch. Mulch is also a great way to help retain the moisture in our soil by providing a protective layer over the ground. It also helps block weeds and keep plant roots cool. Mulch puts the finishing touch on the overall appearance and well-being of our landscaping.

What is Mulch?

Mulch is any type of material that we spread over the surface of our soil. It acts as a cover or protective layer over the ground and as a decorative detail that adds curb appeal to our homes.

Some important information about mulch:

• There are two categories of mulch: organic and inorganic
• Organic mulch is made of natural materials
• Inorganic mulch is made of synthetic material
• Both types of mulch block weeds, but inorganic is a more powerful weed blocker
• Inorganic mulch does not add value to the soil in the way of nutrients
• The best time to spread mulch is Spring
• Fall mulching helps conserve moisture in the soil as well as provide root protection

What is Mulch Glue?

We agree that mulch is a great way to add aesthetic value to your outdoor space. But we also know that mulch can get messy. Wind, rain, and weather can wash mulch out of your beds and onto your walkways and into your yard.

Further, runaway mulch can mean you will most likely need to re-mulch again to maintain the great look.

If you are looking for a landscaping and lawn care solution that will help you maintain a neat and attractive appearance, mulch glue is worth a try.
