Bark
- Bark comes in many different sizes and types. The most common are ‘chipped cedar’ and ‘spruce bark’ which have a nice reddish-brown color.
- They are slow to rot and very attractive when used in gardens, around shrubs and trees, or in container gardens.
- If you surround the base of trees and shrubs with bark mulch, it's easier to mow if you raise the blade of the lawn mower high enough to pass right over it while cutting the grass.
- Bark will trap moisture in the soil below and prevent weeds from sprouting by cutting off the light that reaches the soil.
- It enables air to circulate around the roots of the plants and prevents the soil from compacting.
