Mulching Tips , for Your Gardening Hobby.<br/>Adding mulch to a garden has a variety of benefits, from maintaining moisture levels to keeping the weeds out.<br/>Perhaps most importantly, mulch can make the soil of your garden better.<br/>Mulch plays a big part in <br/>growing better soils, Dr. William C. Fonteno, North Carolina <br/>State University, via 'The New York Times'.<br/>Mulching is a way to continue that <br/>process on a natural scale, Dr. William C. Fonteno, North Carolina <br/>State University, via 'The New York Times'.<br/>Experts say that mulching is a way to recreate the natural and slower soiling processes that occur in forests.<br/>In a forest, there’s no big heap, just a layer of an inch or two or three, breaking down and returning to the system, Dr. William C. Fonteno, North Carolina <br/>State University, via 'The New York Times'.<br/>With mulching, it's good to think in the long term and to trust that the process will continually improve your garden over the span of several cycles.<br/>Every year that you are adding mulch, you are creating additional soil, and your soil will be better, Dr. William C. Fonteno, North Carolina <br/>State University, via 'The New York Times'.<br/>Most people don’t want to put down something that breaks down quickly, because you have to do it again and again, Dr. William C. Fonteno, North Carolina <br/>State University, via 'The New York Times'.<br/>But if you take the attitude that you’re growing the soil, maybe you’ll think differently. It’s hard for soil microbes to chew on <br/>big chips, Dr. William C. Fonteno, North Carolina <br/>State University, via 'The New York Times'.<br/>Therefore, mulch should be applied sparingly and practically rather than in heaping piles or decoratively.<br/>Horticulturists say that the ingredients of a good organic mulch can include leaves, the leftovers of cut grass, straw and even wood chips and bark.<br/>Grass and leaves will decompose quickly, whereas bits of wood mulch will take longer.<br/>Bits of mulch that take longer to decompose allow your soil to maintain proper nitrogen levels, which is beneficial if you don't wish to add fertilizer
