MulchMulching the ground around your plants provides a steady temperature for the roots.  It keeps soil warmer in winter and cooler in summer.  It also helps to retain moisture that would evaporate quickly when the sun rises.  It is more effective at weed control, which means your plants get more nutrients and moisture from the soil without fighting the weeds for it.  And a big plus: as the mulch breaks down, it nurtures your soil!

Save Water: The BIG benefit of these is that they save water!  You can save up to 33% of your irrigation costs by doing what is recommended here.
