Mineral mulch in Jacou:the advantages

Mulching is a gardening technique that involves arranging on the ground of organic or mineral matter. At Vert Parc, we have chosen to offer you a wide range of mineral mulches that can be installed in beds to further enhance your garden. But that's not its only advantage. Let's discover together the advantages of this solution.

Limiting watering

The mineral mulching of your outdoor space in Jacou helps reduce watering. In fact, on bare soil, the natural phenomenon of evaporation is two to three times greater. The installation of minerals on the surface of the soil allowing water to be absorbed, humidity is therefore maintained in the soil, which reduces the need for watering even in the event of high temperatures, and consequently leads to savings in water use. Mulching can therefore be done in the garden, but also for potted plants, which will also add to their beauty.

Reducing weeding

Mulching not only reduces watering needs, it also reduces the development of weeds and therefore limits weeding actions. When minerals are installed as a mulch properly, they prevent light from directly reaching the soil surface. But weeds need this light to germinate and grow. The passage of light is blocked, so they take longer to emerge from the ground.

Soil protection

Mulching helps protect the soil. Faced with the vagaries of the climate, in this case heavy rains, we can witness the settling of the earth. The presence of mulch makes it possible to avoid or at least considerably slow down the occurrence of such a phenomenon. In addition, during the winter period, it can prove to be a good protection for plants, offering them enough heat so that they are not exposed to the consequences of frost.

The beautification of the garden

The beautification of the garden is one of the best benefits of mulching made with minerals. It allows you to further enhance your space, bringing a touch of charm and elegance. Minerals have a natural and singular beauty that they will communicate to your garden. Multiple combinations are possible depending on the decor and design that you want to create in terms of circulations, patios or flowerbeds. Pebble, gravel, slate flakes, sand, rock, marble, clay ball or even pozzolana better known as lava rock are some minerals that can be used as mulch.
