🌿 June is the Perfect Time to Mulch Your Garden 🌿
As the cooler weather settles in, June is one of the best months to add mulch to your garden beds. A good layer of mulch acts like a warm blanket for your soil, helping to moderate temperature fluctuations and keep the ground a little warmer during those chilly winter nights.
Mulch also helps retain moisture, reduces w**d growth, and gradually improves soil health as it breaks down. By protecting the soil from cold winds and frost, it creates a better environment for plant roots to continue growing throughout winter.
Whether you use bark chips, sugar cane mulch, straw, or compost, applying a 5–10cm layer around your plants now can set your garden up for healthier growth and a vibrant spring season ahead.
Your garden may be slowing down for winter, but beneath the mulch, the soil is still hard at work! 🌱
