Mulch Benefits for Gardens in Summer Heat
Summer mulching boosts garden performance by conserving moisture and stabilizing soil temperatures, while cutting weeds and erosion. Organic mulches like bark and peat enrich soil as they decompose, with grasses and cocoa shells suited to different beds, and proper soil prep ensures weed elimination before applying a 2 to 4 inch cover for best results.
