Straw Mulch from Bedrock Gardens Provides Light Coverage for Vegetable Beds
Straw works well for insulating overwintered crops like garlic and root vegetables. It’s easy to remove in spring and decomposes naturally. Choose clean, weed-free straw to prevent reseeding. Apply a thick layer and anchor it with a light sprinkling of water or mesh netting.
Bark Mulch Offers Long-Term Protection and Visual Appeal
When it comes to the best cold-weather mulch options for your landscape, shredded hardwood or pine bark mulch holds up under snow and wind, while insulating roots from frost. It also adds attractive, finished texture to garden beds. Spread it around trees, shrubs, and flower beds to conserve moisture and reduce temperature swings in the soil.
Evergreen Boughs Work Well for Flower Beds and Shrubs
Recycle holiday greens by laying them gently over vulnerable plants. Evergreen branches trap snow and buffer freezing winds without compacting the soil. This method protects late-blooming perennials, ground covers, and newly planted shrubs during harsh winter stretches.
Mulch Reduces Soil Erosion and Moisture Loss
In winter, freeze-thaw cycles push soil upward and can dislodge roots. A layer of mulch prevents erosion, retains moisture, and keeps soil from shifting. It also reduces weed germination in early spring, saving time when the growing season begins.
