Four practical reasons to use pine bark mulch

Pine bark combines four practical advantages when it is applied to a clean bed at sufficient depth.

1. Slower moisture loss

The shaded surface is less exposed to sun and wind.

2. Fewer emerging weeds

A continuous layer limits light for many weed seeds.

3. Moderated temperatures

Bark reduces rapid heating and cooling of the upper soil.

4. Unified appearance

Natural colours provide a consistent background for plants.
