Mulch - Did you know?

Evaporation is a major cause of water loss in gardens. By applying mulch you are not only assisting in controlling weeds and improving soil quality but also reducing moisture loss through evaporation by up to 70%. Mulch has 2 forms, it can be organic, such as bark chips that decompose overtime and increases the soils ability to hold water. It can be inorganic such as rocks and pebbles, all of which are aesthetic and an effective way to keep the soil moist. At Western Landscapes we believe it is important to conserve water in our gardens and as such we have a wide range of mulches, so please visit Western Landscape Supplies for all the help you need to save water in the garden and survive the current drought and water restrictions.

DE+ (Diatomaceous Earth)

Western's DE Plus has a water absorption capacity of a minimum of 100% of its own weight. To our special blend we added Diatomite 4 to help provide healthy growth to living plants. The intricate pore structure of Diatomite keeps the pores in the soil open, and controls the water supply to the roots holding and releasing moisture when required.
