Gardeners and landscapers in Louisiana can benefit from using mulch for their garden and landscaping needs. Mulch is an asset to any environment where plants are growing. It has an anti-weeding effect, which can assist the process of cultivating vegetables and other landscaping plants. However, the amount of mulch used may affect the outcome.

Although mulch is certainly not the prettiest thing in your garden, it serves a vital role of covering delicate plant roots, keeping weeds at bay, adding organic matter to the soil and keeping moisture in during the drier periods that are sure to happen during the summer.
