Mulch helps growers get rid of weeds from the flower beds!
Shredded bark of coniferous trees rich in substances which inhibit the germination of seeds and mulch because this is the effective tool against weeds. However, some garden plants tolerate it badly. Also, after prolonged use it acidifies the soil.
In no case do not let the tie weeds seeds, or they can occupy and the most remote corners of the garden.

Protective soil cover
Mulching - this cover soil with various materials to control weeds. Themselves, these materials are known as mulch. Gardeners struggling with rhizomatous weeds or inhibiting their growth by different substances or by mechanical removal. But that is another procedure can disrupt the development of own garden plants. Processing of the ground or hoe weeding sloppy sometimes even stimulate their growth, because most of the weeds are able to resume the development of tiny pieces rhizomes.
Weeds can be controlled using two effective methods. Under the trees can soil cover film that creates a mechanical barrier to weed growth, or a layer retarding their development mulch from bark of conifers thickness 10 cm. The flowerbeds with perennials, these methods should be used with caution: mechanical obstruction and prevents the development of cultivated plants and mulch from the bark of harm not only the weeds, but most colors. The most effective way to deal with long-term (rhizomatous) -posadka weed groundcover plants, which do not leave them no light, no space. Since many weeds prefer dense soil and sunny places, to get rid of them help as loosening the soil and dense planting crops.
The soil can also mulch natural stone, gravel, pebbles and gravel.
Annual weeds (ie. e. weeds that reproduce by seeds) characterized by rapid growth and high aggressiveness). They prefer open ground, and most often appear in the beds prepared for the planting of crops. Mulch layer suppresses germination and inhibits development. Such a mulch may consist of inorganic and organic substances. It is important that it does not prejudice the development of the crop, and even better - to stimulate their growth. If there is no open plots of land, the majority of weeds that reproduce by seeds, simply will not be able to germinate.
But if the beds are growing perennials that reproduce self-seeding, mulch the soil with materials that will not interfere with germination of their seeds. Where is dominated by acidic soil, and the air rushes weight of seeds, plant perennials well, prefer alkaline calcareous soil and ground cover a thick layer of particulate mulch limestone.
It will stimulate the growth of cultivated plants by preventing germination of weed seeds. A mulch layer of shredded cortex acid will inhibit the development of weeds prefer alkaline soil.
Mulch and soil quality
A layer of mulch, not only inhibits the development of weeds, it is extremely beneficial for the soil. Under the mulch the ground for much longer stays moist. Topsoil does not turn into dust, as is the case with bare ground. Even after the rains coming after them and heat the soil beneath the mulch does not form a crust and remains loose, because water slowly percolates through the protective layer and does not soil compacted. Mulch protects the soil and the temperature drops. In this action the mulch all types, whether foliage, nonwoven, gravel or chips.
Mulch of organic material - leaves, herb crumbs, compost and shredded bark - enriches the soil with nutrients, so that in many cases there is no need to fertilizer.
Black polyethylene film - a great tool for controlling weeds in the beds of solid. Plants crawls through holes made in the film.
Living soil protection
Most reliably protect the ground covering plants. Therefore, in all areas of the garden with bare ground plan their planting or dense planting in advance. Since immediately after landing even ground cover plants are not able to close all bare land, the openings between the first seedlings should be coated with a thick layer mulch.
Mulch the soil during planting, and not after it: plants can inadvertently trample.
It is best to put the next few buckets of mulch material and cover them svezhezasazhennye land within easy reach by hand.
