Are you looking for ways to protect your plants from the annual summer heat wave? Pine Bark is a great landscaping material to help you plants stay moist during this Texas heat. This smooth, scaly, and cracked material can be used over soil as a heat protectant for your plants. Pine nuggets take longer to breakdown, lasting longer than most mulches. Here are multiple ways this raw aggregate material can protect your garden.
Keep in the moisture.
When it comes to plants, you want them to retain or hold as much moisture as possible. Pine Bark keeps the plants hydrated during warm weather by keeping the soil temperature low.
Plants need to grow.
Pine Bark adds aluminum to the soil which prevents biotic and abiotic stress allowing the leaves to be strong and more durable. It helps your plants produce 50% more flowers, vegetables, and herbs resulting in great leafy growth.
No room for weeds.
No gardener likes weeds and this is where Pine Bark can help! By covering the soil with mulch it makes it more difficult for weeds to take root and grow. The mulch blocks the light that weeds need to grow, so you are left with a weedless garden!
Pine bark is a necessary ingredient to have when planting flowers or growing produce, especially in the summer. It lasts longer than most raw materials and is an affordable alternative for your garden. You can purchase pine bark in different forms of texture from finely shredded to larger chunks. At RAC Materials, we have all the supplies you need to keep your plants thriving and surviving.
