Hydroseeding & Bark Blowers
What are the benefits of bark mulch compared to compost mulch?
Bark mulch effectively suppresses weed growth and helps soil retain moisture, benefiting your plants. Compost mulch, while excellent for moisture retention and providing essential nutrients to plants, is less effective at weed control. Compost is particularly beneficial for improving soil quality in areas with poor conditions.
