Why should I install bark on my beds & borders?
Installing bark on your borders offers several benefits:
- Weed Suppression: Bark acts as a natural weed barrier, preventing weed growth and reducing the need for constant weeding.
- Moisture Retention: Bark helps retain moisture in the soil by reducing evaporation, which is particularly beneficial in dry or arid climates.
- Temperature Regulation: It provides insulation to the soil, helping regulate soil temperature by keeping it cooler in hot weather and warmer in cold weather.
- Soil Structure Improvement: Over time, bark decomposes, contributing organic matter to the soil and improving its structure, aeration, and fertility.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Bark mulch enhances the visual appeal
