Description
Compost is created when organic materials decompose.
When you mulch with compost, you feed your garden, prevent weeds, and fight plant and soil disease. The compost mulch you use in your garden is like soil – it is rich and black and comes from organic substances like yard waste, lawn clippings, leaves decomposing, kitchen, and garden waste.
Mulch is a material placed around your plants to help retain moisture to the roots. Mulch can be made from wood chips, dead leaves, kitchen or yard waste. Some mulches are made from old tires. Compost is organic, not wood or other unnatural ingredients.
Using your compost as mulch gives you a good mixture of nutrients leached into the soil around your plants. When it rains, small deposits of nitrogen and carbon are washed into the soil. This leaching improves your soil and helps plants grow lush and beautiful. The best part of compost mulch, it comes from your ingredients and is free.
When using mulch, make sure you spread a thick layer in your garden. Thick layers will essentially kill the weeds by shading them. Add about a 4-inch layer of compost around perennials. Extend the layer about 12-inches from the plants. The compost will work into the soil as your plants grow. Add more compost during the growing season.
Compost as a mulch can be very beneficial to plants during the winter months.
It will insulate your plants from the biting snow and ice. In the spring, remove compost from the plants and to allow the sunlight to warm the soil.
You can make compost by using a heap method. Start your compost pile in any season, but the best time to make compost mulch is in the fall when leaves are falling, gardens are wearing down, and nitrogen and carbon materials are available.
