Mulch conserves soil moisture
MEDIA Applying a mulch in
your garden or landscape bed is
one of the best things you can do
for your plants in dry weather,
says James J. McKeehen,
Delaware County Extension
Agricultural Agent.
Mulches help plants survive
droughts in two ways: First, they
improve the rate of water in
filtration into the soil. So when
your irrigate, or rain does fall, the
water soaks into the ground rather
than runs away. Second, the mulch
greatly reduces evaporation from
the soil, causing the water to stay
in the ground.
In addition to the benefits -
derived from conserving Water,
mulches serve several other
purposes. They prevent soil
erosion and splashing of soil onto
plants and buildings during
periods of heavy rain. They also
provide attractive backgrounds for
flowers and shrubs. Finally, one of
their primary uses is to linut weed
growth.

Homeowners have many
materials from which to choose
when selecting a mulch. Leaves,
straw, marsh, corn cobs, or grass
clippings can be used in a garden
but are unsightly in the landscape.
Mulches such as pine or hardwood
bark, wood chips, redwood bark
chunks, cocoa bean hulls, and pine
needles are all commonly used in
landscape beds. All of these
materials are organic and help
unprove the soil as they decom
pose.
Some mulches, like black plastic
and gravel, are not organic and do
not dedompose with time. These
materials are best used where no
plants are growing such as under
eaves of buildings or between a
sidewalk and building.
The organic mulches should be
applied somewhat loosely and two
to four inches thick over the soil
surface. When applying a mulch,
avoid having it contact the stems
of plants in the bed. Try to
maintain a one or two inch space
between the mulch and the stem.
