Transform your lawn's grass clippings into valuable mulch. Simply collect the clippings after mowing and spread them around your garden beds.
Gather fallen leaves from your yard and shred them using a lawn mower or leaf shredder. Shredded leaves make excellent mulch, providing a rich source of nutrients and improving soil structure as they break down.
Create wood chips from branches and twigs using a chipper shredder. These wood chips are perfect for mulching pathways and garden beds, offering a natural look and excellent weed suppression.
Use straw or hay as mulch by spreading it around your garden beds. It’s an affordable option that helps retain soil moisture and adds organic matter as it decomposes.
Collect pine needles from pine trees and use them as mulch. Pine needles, or pine straw, are ideal for acid-loving plants and help create a tidy look while reducing weed growth.
Create mulch by composting your yard waste, including fruit and vegetable scraps, grass clippings, and leaves.
Layer cardboard or newspaper around your garden beds to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Cover them with a layer of wood chips or leaves for a more attractive finish.
Use coconut coir, a byproduct of coconut processing, as a mulch alternative. It’s a sustainable option that retains moisture, reduces erosion, and provides a natural look to your garden beds.
