Yard Waste - Mulching
Shredded leaves, grass clippings, hay, straw, pine needles and other yard materials can be used as mulch. Place mulch around flowers, vegetables, bushes and trees.
Mulch provides the following benefits:
- Reduces the need for watering and weeding
- Holds moisture in the soil
- Keeps soil warmer during the winter
- Helps control insects and diseases
- As natural mulch decomposes, it provides nutrients to plants and soil
