Why is it important we Mulch?

Mulching or topdressing is needed for a number of reasons as it is beneficial for your plants, the soil and the environment.

Having organic material on top of soils will moisten the top layer of the ground which can be very important for clay soils as the organic material would be drawn in naturally breaking up the existing soil. Unique PlantGrow organic Mulch works very well with all soil types as it provides essential nutrients along with soil microbes & natural healthy bacteria, something that is not present in many other mulches.

Remember, your plants are greedy and will drain the goodness from the soil. PlantGrow, first used for farm use knows what plants need for a healthier life. By working with nature we have created a product that soils and plants love plus one that is completely natural so you can have the re-assurance to know your plants have only been grown with our plant-based product.

Mulching is easy as no digging is needed, this keeps carbon in the soil and works with the existing life within the soil over time. Worms add to this process by moving the organic material around creating air pockets as they blend the organic matter with the current soil.

Another benefit of an organic mulch is it will work with various weather patterns, from wet weather by absorbing the water and holding moisture, to drought conditions keeping soils protected and keeping the goodness and moisture in the soil.  

Mulching is also recommended for weed reduction. Long term annual applications will get your soils producing MORE fruit, flowers and vegetables due to the long term feeding within the plant material and the way it works with nature, improving the microbiome of the soil.
