Fall Mulching

To give your plants a better chance to survive the winter, it is important to add mulch in the fall. Fall mulching has numerous benefits that help plants brace against the winter. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks to add mulch in the fall months.

A big way that fall mulching benefits your plants is by helping retain moisture in the soil. Surrounding your plants with mulch helps prevent dew in the soil from evaporating and in return retain the soil moisture.

Another important reason to mulch in the fall is to help control the soil temperature. Temperatures in the fall can fluctuate greatly. Mulch acts as insulation, and can help keep your plants roots cool or hot depending on the surrounding air and soil temperatures.
