Wood chips, bark, sawdust, straw, hulls and shells, and even compost give a natural look, and most of them do a great job with weed control. Grass clippings and shredded leaves are excellent solutions for a thicker and healthier lawn. As organic types of mulch retain the moisture in the soil, they\u2019re a perfect option for newly planted trees and shrubs. Also, there is no harm if you mix them into the soil. Yet, it\u2019s good to avoid using hardwood chips, as they can bind together and block water and air access to the ground.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span class=\"icon-check\"><\/span><strong>Inorganic mulch<\/strong> is preferred in aesthetic landscaping design. It\u2019s available in different colours and styles. Stone, gravel, rubber, plastic, or landscape fabric all need less time for maintenance and are great at deterring weeds. On the other hand, you have to be careful with soil temperature, as black plastic and stones absorb heat from the sun, therefore warming up the soil below. Furthermore, inorganic mulch doesn\u2019t break down, and it\u2019s not easy to plant in or move aside. So, think about your gardening plans before sticking to inorganic mulch.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div> <!-- \/.bullet-list -->\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"note note--warning\">\n\t\t<div class=\"note__icon\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-warning\"><\/i> <!-- \/.icon- -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__icon -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"note__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMulches made from cocoa shells are preferred by many organic gardeners for their sweet smell and the essential nutrients they add to the soil.

Make sure to remove all the roots. However, if it\u2019s too hard, cut the weeds off to the ground. The mulch will handle the rest.

Create an edge between the mulch and the grass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a line between the garden beds and the grass will give a neat and clean look to the garden. Edging the line will save you a lot of time and effort in the future by preventing the mulch from spilling over the other surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a manual edger or shovel to cut the line. You can use stones and other edging borders or leave it like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Rake the mulch over the area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve prepared the ground, it\u2019s time to lay the mulch. Use a garden spade to apply an even layer of mulch around the plants. Level it with the landscaping rake. As we covered above, the thickness depends on the specifics of the garden. Applying the right amount of mulch is the key to success. It should be thick enough to keep the soil from the sunlight and combat weeds but not too thick to attract pests and diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep mulch about 3 cm away from the stems of flowers and vegetables and 15 to 25 cm from the trunks of shrubs and trees. This action will ensure the air and water flow to its root systems. Piling mulch around the stems can cause them to rot and die.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"note note--tip\">\n\t\t<div class=\"note__icon\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-tip\"><\/i> <!-- \/.icon- -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__icon -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"note__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tPutting down a layer of newspaper under the mulch will help with eliminating the weeds.\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__body -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Be careful with dyed mulches, as applying too much water can wash away the colour and stain stonework or concrete elements. Make sure to rinse it off immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__title\">You may also like:<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__title -->\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__body\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"related-article__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-improve-sandy-soil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"How to Improve Sandy Soil\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/how-to-improve-sandy-soil-f-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"How to Improve Sandy Soil - Featured Image\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5120px) 100vw, 5120px\" title=\"How to Improve Sandy Soil &#8211; Featured Image\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.related-article__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__desc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"badge-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"badge badge--color-2\">Soil Quality &amp; Fertilising<\/span>\n<\/div>  <!-- \/.badge-holder --> \n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-improve-sandy-soil\/\" class=\"short-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"How to Improve Sandy Soil\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHow to Improve Sandy Soil\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__desc -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__body -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article -->\t\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when_to_replace_or_refresh_mulch\">When to replace or refresh the mulch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most organic mulches like bark and straw decompose in about a year. Hardwood chips and inorganic mulch usually last 5-6 years. It all depends on the material and the weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organic mulch loses most of its benefits over time, and you\u2019ll have to refresh it or add a new layer periodically. If you notice mould on the mulch, turn it and spread it so all surfaces can dry by the air and sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inorganic mulch from rubber or plastic will not dissolve into the soil. You\u2019ll have to replace it when it becomes shabby or worn by the weather conditions. Try to clean or rearrange it if applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, mulching is not a complex task for avid gardeners and can significantly improve the health of the plants and the feel and look of your garden. Yes, the techniques applied can make or break the result.
