Advantages of mulching

Bark chips of various grades are produced from the outer corky bark layer of timber trees. Sizes vary from thin shredded strands to large coarse blocks. The finer types are very attractive but have a large exposed surface area that leads to quicker decay.

Woodchip mulch is often used under trees, shrubs or large planting areas and can last much longer than arborist mulch. In addition, many consider woodchip mulch to be visually appealing, as it comes in various colors.

Woodchip mulch is a byproduct of reprocessing used (untreated) timber (usually packaging pallets), to dispose of wood waste by creating woodchip mulch. The chips are used to conserve soil moisture, moderate soil temperature and suppress weed growth.

Long lasting and packaged, making it convenient and popular as
a mulch. When wetted and dried, it can form a dense crust that
does not allow water to soak in. When dry it can also burn,
producing a smoldering fire.

Grass clippings, from mowed lawns are sometimes collected and used elsewhere as mulch. Grass clippings are dense and tend to mat down, so are mixed with tree leaves or rough compost to provide aeration and to facilitate their decomposition without smelly putrefaction.

Thick layers of entire leaves, especially of maples and oaks, can form a soggy mat in winter and spring which can impede the new growth lawn grass and other plants. Dry leaves are used as winter mulches to protect plants from freezing and thawing in areas with cold winters, they are normally removed during spring.

Leaves

 Leaves from deciduous trees, which drop their foliage in
the autumn/fall. They tend to be dry and blow around in
the wind, so are often chopped or shredded before
application. As they decompose they adhere to each other
but also allow water and moisture to seep down to the
soil surface.

ORGANIC MULCHES Organic mulches decay over time and are temporary. The way a particular organic mulch decomposes and reacts to wetting by rain and dew affects its usefulness.

Rock and gravel can also be used as a mulch. In cooler climates the heat retained byrocks may extend the growing season.

Plastic mulch: crops grow through slits or holes in thin plastic sheeting. This method is predominant in large-scale vegetable growing, with millions of acres cultivated under plastic mulch worldwide each year (disposal of plastic mulch is cited as an environmental problem).

Organic mulching: grass clippings, leaves, hay, straw, kitchen scraps comfrey, shredded bark, whole bark nuggets, sawdust, shells, woodchips, shredded newspaper, cardboard, wool, animal manure, etc. Many of these materials also act as a direct composting system, such as the mulched clippings of a mulching lawn mower, or other organics applied as sheet composting.

They are applied to the soil surface, around trees,
 paths, flower beds, to prevent soil erosion on
slopes, and in production areas for flower
and vegetable crops.

The Importance of mulching

Mulch also helps to retain moisture, prevent soil erosion, control weeds and it adds nutrients to the soil.
