Mulch is not only useful for retaining water but it protects your plants roots and soil structure when heavy rain is about. By choosing the right mulch for your garden you can protect your soil from being washed away or leaching nutrients away from your plant root systems.
To protect your plants in the wet choose mulch that is dense and binds together well. Our Genuine Red Cypress Bark and Outback Orange Cypress are ideal for this situation. They stick on embankments and reduce the chance of your garden being washed away. Just remember when applying your mulch to leave a gap around the stem of your plants to ensure that water can get in to the plants and its roots have room to breathe.
If you are expecting persistent rain you can always add a slow release fertiliser to your garden before or during the rain. This will ensure there is always nutrients available for your plants.
Happy Gardening.
