If you’re a keen gardener, you will no doubt have used mulch before. Mulch provides a layer on top of your soil, serving several purposes — it can retain moisture in the ground, keep the frost from damaging your precious plants as well as provide valuable nutrients. The benefits will vary depending on the type of mulch you’re using. But, one thing all mulch has in common is that it will eventually need replacing. Sadly, mulch can’t last forever, and spring is often the time we need to add a fresh layer.
Time, weathering and even wildlife can have an impact on the lifespan of your mulch. So it’s important to keep an eye on it and replenish it when the time comes. Fail to do this, and it can have repercussions on your yard. Even these 7 gardening tools you didn’t know you needed won’t be able to help.
