Mulch Here at CPS Wood Products sometimes we have scrap wood but even the scrap wood we recycle into mulch which is used for various purposes and has many benefits: > to adjust temperature by helping soil retain more heat in spring and fall, and by keeping soil cool and even out temperature swings during hot and variable summer conditions > to control weeds by blocking the sunlight > to retain water by slowing evaporation > to add organic matter and nutrients to the soil through the gradual breakdown of the mulch material > to repel insects > to incrementally improve growing conditions by reflecting sunlight upwards to the plants, and by providing a clean, dry surface for ground-lying fruit such as squash and melons. > for erosion control - protects soil from rain and preserves moisture > for sediment control - slows runoff velocity |
