It's a process of spreading leaves and other organic materials over the grounds of your garden to aid the soil retain water and the other essential nutrients necessary for the healthy growth of your plants. Mulching also helps to eliminate weeds and the growth of weed seeds and weed seedlings.

They're a welcome addition for any garden wanting to rid themselves of weeds and pests, and to keep the soil great and the plants healthy. Do yourself, and your plants, a favor.
