Mulching Your Garden Plants Is Perfect For Them Except If You Get Some Toxic Mulch - 0 views

  Your plants, as well as the soil in your planting beds, can be benefitted through the use of mulch, which has become extremely popular these days. In a few regions of the country it comes with a warning, though. Some places, a popular type of mulch is produced from shredded hardwood bark, which is a waste product from sawmills. Logs are debarked prior to being cut, and the mills used to be confronted with the problem of getting rid of the bark.
  
  While using bark to produce mulch was a handy option for the lumber yards, but it's not perfect. The lumber mills pile the bark up high to save lots of space, and with little demand for the mulch in winter the piles get really high. The risk for your back garden arises from the mulch becoming compacted too tightly by the front end loaders having to drive up onto the heaps. In order to decompose, the waste bark should be exposed to oxygen throughout a period of time, which means air has to flow through the pile. The temperature of the decomposing bark, when it's so compacted that airflow is limited, can get very high, and there's even the danger that it could catch alight.

Apart from the offensive smell when you dig into it, there's also a threat to your plants when spreading it around. The gas which is contained in the mulch can be released, and if this happens the plants will be burned. Disperse the noxious mulch near the plants, and in a matter of minutes they may be brown. The lawn could be turned brown by dumping a pile of this kind of mulch on the lawn. The fact is that you'll only know that the mulch was toxic when you discover the undesirable "browning of the green."
  
  Both good and bad mulch have strong, though different, smells when you dig into them, but not everyone can tell the difference. Another pointer is that bad mulch is a little darker, and if this alerts you to a potential problem you can test it by placing some around a plant that you don't value too much. Take mulch from more deeply inside the pile for this purpose, not from the outside. Inspect the plant following at least 24 hours; if perhaps no damage has taken place the mulch may be used with confidence.
  
  It might not be such a big problem, but it's preferable to know about it before the time, rather than bumping your head. It may not make you too happy to put something on your plants, and later discover they were burned. Mulching will work for your backyard garden and your plants, but it is good to be aware that there is bad mulch, so buy your mulch from a reputable place that stands behind their product.
