Mulching isn't just ornamental

As you maintain your yard this spring and summer consider this:
While mulching makes your yard look clean and crisp, it is not just ornamental...It serves a very practical purpose in your landscape.  Mulch will provide insulation for new roots and helps to retain moisture and protect against the heat of the summer.  It will also reduce the amount of water that evaporates from the soil and that is critical as it warms up. Another key component of mulch is it improves the quality of soil by breaking up the clay and allowing for better air movement and water in your soil.  And last but not least...It keeps down on weeds!  And we all love that!
