Mulching and fertilizing

Mulching, also known as top dressing, is an essential gardening practice with many long-term benefits. A well-applied layer of mulch not only gives garden beds a neat and finished appearance but also helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, protect plant roots, and improve soil quality.

At Sharmy Low Gardens, we use organic mulch to enrich your garden naturally. Organic mulch gradually decomposes, releasing vital nutrients that enhance soil structure and promote healthier, more resilient plants.

Common types of organic mulch include:

  • Grass clippings

  • Shredded leaves

  • Worm castings

  • Peat moss

  • Newspaper

  • Coconut husks

  • Alfalfa hay

Regular mulching improves the health of your soil, reduces water loss, and keeps your garden looking lush and well-kept all year round.

Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized.
