3.your Mulch is Great for your garden maintenance!

as you know laying down your natural materials provide various purposes such as:

Enhances soil retention of moisture
Monitors soil temperature
Stops soil from eroding
Decreases diseases
Decreases weed growth (must be up to 4-inches thick and reapplied to keep weeds down)
Nearly all organic matter can be utilized as mulch materials for example hay, straw, leaves, sawdust, paper, bark, or grass clippings.

Mulch is suitably used in the spring, but don’t do it too early, or else you’ll delay the soil’s warming. As stated by the University of Georgia, it’s very beneficial to wait until the soil is 65°F at least four inches deep before applying mulch.

a quick note: your unwanted coffee grounds and Pine needles make excellent mulch for acid-loving plants such as azaleas, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, potatoes, and rhododendrons.
