Mulch provides numerous benefits to garden soil and plants. It helps conserve moisture by reducing evaporation, which is especially useful during hot or dry periods. 

Mulch also suppresses weed growth by blocking sunlight, keeping unwanted plants at bay. It regulates soil temperature by insulating against heat and cold, creating a more stable environment for roots. 

Over time, organic mulches break down and add nutrients to the soil. Mulch also improves the overall appearance of garden beds by creating a neat and uniform look.

Loam soil is a balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay and is considered the best soil for gardening. It offers good drainage while still retaining enough moisture for plant roots. 

Loam is also rich in nutrients and has a crumbly texture that allows for easy root penetration and air circulation. 

Because of these properties, it supports a wide variety of plant types and is easy to work with in both planting and maintenance. 

Most high-quality garden soils are based on a loam blend.

Mulch should typically be replaced or topped up once or twice a year, depending on the type used and local weather conditions. 

Organic mulches like bark or wood chips decompose over time, gradually breaking down into the soil. 

As they decompose, they become less effective at suppressing weeds and retaining moisture. Regular inspections help determine whether mulch needs replenishing. If the layer is less than 5 centimetres thick or has faded in colour and texture, it’s a good time to refresh it.
