Mulching saves effort and time, reduces the need for irrigation, eliminates loosening, pelting and weeding, helps control pests and diseases. Mulching is a critical activity that combines a whole range of functions in the cultivation of crops not only berries, vegetables and fruits, but also flowers and shrubs.

About its essence, mulching - is a coating of beds, squared circles, paths and paths on the site with any mulching materials.

The benefits of mulching:

• protects the roots of plants from drying out by holding back moisture, prevents excessive evaporation, thus reducing the frequency of watering, prevents the formation of soil crust;
• maintains the optimum soil temperature and prevents sudden temperature changes: on hot days, the soil does not overheat and does not freeze in the cold;
• protects plants from weeds, suppresses the germination of annual weed seeds, minimizing the use of chemicals;
• favourably affects the composition and structure of the soil;
• regulates the acidity of the soil by applying a certain composition of mulch materials;
• creates conditions for earthworms activation and useful microorganisms work;
• adorns the appearance of the site if decorative mulching materials are used.

Mulching, above all, serves to protect the soil and, what is especially pleasant, significantly saves our time and effort. Watering is reduced, there is no need for loosening and weeding. The plants are neither sick nor affected by pests. This means that more time will be left for rest, not for endless waving with a hoe or a slant.

Thanks to the diverse size and colouring of the gravel and the richness of its forms, it is possible to create unique garden expositions with a variety of effects. Believe me, a gravel garden can be as diverse as Mother Nature itself. Sunny in the yard or cloudy, foggy or rainy - it is always different and always unique, it surprises and conquers, remaining forever in the memory of everyone who had the opportunity to see this man-made miracle.

Advantages of gravel:

• Ecology. The main advantage of gravel is its ecological compatibility. Properly laid gravel will never prevent the soil from absorbing water and "breathing". In addition, it does not prevent air from accessing the soil, so that the roots of plants underneath it will not lose their vitality. Gravel is not only an excellent background for most of the plants used in alpine hills, but also an excellent mulching material - thanks to its ability to cool the soil on hot days. Gravel of fine fraction serves as an excellent "opener" on heavy clayey soils, which makes it possible to plant any plants on them.
• Decorativeness. Gravel can be an excellent substitute for grass lawn or yard paving with tiles. Due to its stable ornamentation, this unique natural material will perfectly shade the beauty of different garden plants, at the same time emphasizing and complementing it in a beneficial way. In addition, unlike various plantings, the gravel garden landscape is not subject to the whims of the weather, which means it will always look equally good: both after heavy rain and after hail. Decorative gravel allows you to arrange a beautiful composition where the planting of various ornamental plants is not useful or simply impossible - on scarce soils and stony terrain, on wet areas and in arid climates.
• Perfect compatibility. Another undeniable advantage of gravel is its compatibility with various plants and other ornamental materials. Gravel is equally well combined with huge boulders and wood, glass and metal, mosses and concrete, which makes it possible to create unusual and amazing compositions.
