Inorganic Vs. Organic Mulching Materials

Mulching or landscape offers a number of benefits especially when using LifeMulch premium organic wood chips. Mulching your garden beds and trees prevents weeds, controls soil erosion, cuts back on the watering schedule, and provides a large amount of nutrition for your soil.

A very common question we tend to get is what is the difference between organic and in organic mulching materials? And do they provide the same amount of benefits? 

What are some examples of organic versus in organic mulching materials?

-Organic mulching materials include wood chips, straw leaves, compost, sawdust, grass clippings, and grape Pomace.

-Inorganic mulching materials include plastic sheeting, rubber chips, rocks and geotextiles.

Inorganic Benefits

Inorganic mulching materials such Can be very pleasing to the eye aesthetically and are a little more low maintenance however, they are solely used to generate barriers to prevent weeds from growing. In organic mulching materials do not decompose as organic does, so they will not provide your gardens or your trees with any extra soil quality or nutrition. If you were looking for a low maintenance mulch material that will prevent weeds in your garden beds and around your trees, inorganic mulch is for you!
