WGD Jute Mulch Mat Weed Control - 1m x 75cm-ish

What is mulch? Mulch is defined as any material that is placed on the surface of cultivated soil, be that over beds, fields or over compost in individual pots. It could be something like this jute mulch roll, cardboard, straw, hay or bark chippings. It’s a technique that’s been around for millennia, but it seems to have fallen out of favour through modern farming methods. However,  mulch is definitely enjoying a come-back due to the increased need for sustainable agriculture and with gardening methods like ‘ no-dig ’. What are the benefits of mulch? The  benefits of mulch are widespread , both for domestic gardeners and widescale horticulturalists, farmers and foresters. We have certainly noticed the benefits of mulch our gardens and in our  Buy Land Plant Trees  project. Here are a few of the benefits of mulch: Conserves water  – mulch conserves water by reducing water evaporation from the soil. Mulch allows water to permeate through it into the soil below. However, the barrier the mulch forms between soil and the air reduces the amount of water that evaporates off the soil’s surface. Studies of mulch in draught-prone countries have demonstrated how the water-saving properties of mulch improve crop growth. Naturally suppresses weeds – using mulch to cover soil and compost where plants or crops are growing creates a natural barrier against weeds. The weeds don’t have access to light, can’t photosynthesise, and therefore perish and eventually rot away into the ground.
