Types of mulches for gardens and their effects
Clayton outlines four basic mulch types plastic paper and organic materials such as grass clippings sawdust and compost plastic warms soil five to ten degrees F while paper and organic mulches cool it similar amounts. Clear plastic speeds seed germination but weeds may grow. black plastic reduces weeds. Paper mulch cools soil and decomposes, organic mulches retain moisture reduce erosion and improve soil. when used they require 25 percent more fertilizer to offset breakdown.
