Mulching is a powerful tool in the backyard, helping gardeners to protect and nurture their plants and, sometimes, give them gentle encouragement to flower just that little bit earlier. Fancy healthier, more robust plants that bring colour and joy as the winter frosts thaw? Then you’ve come to the right place.
Fall and spring are two of the most common times of year to mulch backyard flowerbeds and borders, but for different reasons. A spring mulch nourishes plants ahead of the new growing season, as well as helping to suppress weeds and lock in moisture in the soil. A fall or winter mulch, in the other hand is a trick gardeners use to protect plants from the worst of winter’s cold.
