Why Should I Add Mulch to My Plants?

Mulching is one of the simplest ways to improve plant health and garden soil. A layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, regulate temperature, and add organic matter as it breaks down.

Using natural mulches, like our Wiggly Raw Wool Mulch, offers extra benefits. Wool mulch retains moisture exceptionally well and slowly releases nutrients, creating a perfect environment for roots. It also supports soil microbes and improves structure over time.

Applying mulch around your plants can reduce watering needs and protect roots from temperature extremes, giving your garden a healthier, more vibrant look throughout the seasons.
