Weed Control: Mulching to Suppress Weeds

A great way to prevent the growth of weeds in your garden is by mulching. Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or straw, around your plants. Mulch acts as a barrier, preventing weed seeds from receiving the light they need to germinate. Additionally, it helps retain moisture in the soil and regulates its temperature. Make sure to remove any existing weeds before mulching to maximize its effectiveness. Regularly replenish the mulch layer to maintain its weed-suppressing benefits. With proper mulching, you can keep your garden weed-free and focus on the growth of your desired plants.
