Why Mulch Is Important
Mulch acts as a protective layer over soil, shielding it from heavy rainfall, temperature fluctuations, and wind. In the Pacific Northwest, where moisture levels can vary significantly throughout the year, mulch helps regulate soil conditions and reduce erosion.
Over time, organic mulch breaks down and enriches the soil, supporting healthier plant growth and improved soil structure.
