While many may only think of landscaping mulch in Union County in the spring, A.M. Logging is here to tell you why you should think of mulch in the fall too! While spring mulching is a common practice for many, adding mulch to your flower beds in fall also boasts a handful of benefits to keep in mind! When you need mulch, trust A.M. Logging.
Many understand some of the normal benefits of mulching – such as the aesthetic appeal of a freshly mulched flower bed. Mulch can also increase the available nutrients in the soil – however, there are some fall specific benefits to consider! Here are five of the biggest benefits of adding landscaping mulch to your flower beds this fall!
#1: Weed Control
Fall mulching helps prevent weeds from growing in both the late fall and the following spring. It covers exposed soil, hindering weed growth and the deposition of weed seeds. By preventing weed growth and seed deposition, you can start spring by maintaining your flower beds, rather than fighting a weed infestation.
#2: Temperature Regulation
Mulching in the fall helps regulate soil temperatures, protecting plants from the extreme temperature fluctuations of winter, including frost, freezes and warm winter days that can damage roots. This can help keep your plants healthy and happy.
#3: Healthier Plants
By protecting the soil and plant roots, fall mulching contributes to healthier plants, reducing the risk of damage from winter weather.
#4: Bigger Blooms
Well-mulched flower beds can lead to more robust and abundant blooms in the spring and summer. From protecting the plants from extreme temperatures and helping to maintain nutrients in the soil, mulching in the fall helps your plants thrive!
#5: Reduced Work
Fall mulching sets the stage for easier maintenance in the following year by preventing weed growth and reducing the need for extensive spring clean-up. That way, come spring, you can enjoy your flower beds from the start! One simple final project this fall can save you loads of time and effort come spring – the investment in your flower beds is worth it!
