Mulch
|
Organic Mulches are used in
bedding areas, especially around plants. Mulches are an integral part of a
landscape for several reasons. First, mulch helps keep moisture in the ground
around plantings. It is very important for new plantings, because new plants
do not have very large root structures from which to draw water. Second,
mulch helps keep undesirable weeds under control. It does not keep weeds out
completely since weed seeds can germinate in the mulch, or over a period of
time the weeds can grow through, but it does help. Third, mulches are used to
dress up areas. Certain types of organic mulches
are more common depending on what part of the country you live in. In Northwest Illinois the number one mulch is hardwood bark, cedar being the
next most common, followed up by pine bark and then cypress. Artificially
colored mulches have also become quite popular in the past few years. The
biggest factor that leads to prevalence of use is availability and therefore
pricing. If you don't have hardwood trees in your area you are less likely to
have hardwood mulch in your beds. If you have lots of pine trees in your area
but they are not being harvested, you are less likely to have pine bark in
your beds. If you live in the desert, organic mulch is going to be expensive
- I'm guessing you probably have some sort of stone mulch. A word about weed barrier use
under organic mulches - we don't recommend it! In Illinois property owners
tend to mulch each spring. As the organic mulch settles and decays, the unsightly
weed barrier may come to the surface. Also, the weed seeds can germinate in
the material above the weed barrier especially after a few cycles of mulch
decay and replenishment. |
Red Colored Mulch:
Red Colored Mulch is a recycled
product made from scrap pallets and virgin wood which is chip-ground into
strips about ½" by 2-3 inches long and colored red. It does lose its color
after about 2 years. A fresh annual cover keeps it looking very red. When it is
dumped on the drive it will leave a red stain so plan accordingly if you have a
nice cement driveway. A tarp will help keep some of the red off the drive, but
makes shoveling more difficult. Rain will make it bleed so move it before the
rains come. Dumping it in the grass will keep the drive clean but it is very
difficult to get it all out of the lawn.
Rubber Mulch Nugget:
Rubber mulch is sourced from tires. The tires are ground down by hand, machine or frozen then broken into pieces to create mulch. It comes in various forms and colors. Some production processes include using the part of the tire which includes the cords. This results in white cords being visible in the individual pieces. Other processes do not use as much of the casing or only the cap of the tire resulting in a less furry texture. This type of rubber product takes many forms. From fairly fine thin pieces to more traditional 1/2 inch minus nugget. I have not had much feedback yet to determine how well the colors hold up It has a good appearance and feel; I suspect it will hold up better in the long run than some of the finer shredded material.
