The appropriate use of bark mulch in the garden can help plants through the dryer summer months by preventing the majority of water loss by evaporation from the soil. It also adds organic matter to the soil and helps prevent erosion.
A covering of bark reduces light so preventing germination of many weed seeds and fewer weeds provide less competition for available moisture and nutrients. Using bark to control weeds is also safer than applying herbicides.
There are many different grades of bark. Some are specialist and
others are suited for a variety of applications. It is important to choose the right bark for your project.
