Sphagnum As a Mulch

Mulches are very beneficial in gardens. A mulch is simply a layer of material, preferably organic, placed around your plants to control weeds, conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature and improve soil structure. When you mulch your garden you are emulating Mother Nature by providing a covering for bare soil. Plants of all types benefit directly or indirectly from a mulch cover.

Mosser Lee's Long-Fibered Sphagnum Moss makes the ideal mulch because it conserves the moisture that provides steady plant growth. This produces strong, robust plants, better blooms and larger, tastier fruits and vegetables. It can also save the lives of plants during extreme droughts when water is not readily available.

A thick layer of Mosser Lee's Long-Fibered Sphagnum Moss acts as a blanket to control soil temperatures. It keeps the soil at the right range of warmth for best bacterial action and will protect plants from the drastic winter freezing and thawing which can destroy roots. Mosser Lee's sphagnum moss used as a mulch can be left on all year with beneficial results to your plants.
