Mulch is used for various purposes:
To adjust temperature by helping soil retain more heat in spring and fall, and by keeping soil cool and even out temperature swings during hot and variable summer conditions to control weeds by blocking the sunlight to retain water by slowing evaporation to add organic matter and nutrients to the soil through the gradual breakdown of the mulch material to repel insects to incrementally improve growing conditions by reflecting sunlight upwards to the plants. Mulch Maintenance – after a month or so, check your mulch for compaction.

Mulch retains moisture, retards weeds, provides nutrients, controls erosion and insulates the soil protecting plants from extreme temperature variations. Mulch is usually applied towards the beginning of the growing season, and may be reapplied as necessary.
Mulch should normally smell like freshly cut wood, but sometimes will develop a toxicity that will cause it to smell like vinegar, ammonia, sulfur or silage. Mulch is simply a protective layer of a material that is spread on top of the soil. Mulching is one of the most important ways to maintain healthy landscape plants. Mulches prevent crusting of the soil surface, thus improving the absorption and movement of water into the soil. Mulched plants have more roots than plants that are not mulched, because mulched plants will produce additional roots in the mulch that surrounds them.
