One of the most important attributes of mulching is the long-lasting effect has on the health and protection of the soil, trees, plants, and flowers its shields, and safeguards. Mulch protects soil from baking and drying out, by altering the soil temperature and serving as an insulator to accommodate the surface needs in both summer and winter seasons. It also serves in the reduction of soil compaction by acting as a buffer layer from heavy rains, equipment, and people. Mulching is extremely important in reducing the growth of weeds and other soil-borne diseases from intruding plants. Mulch also adds nutrients to the soil which helps improve the soil structure and plant growth.

This is especially crucial in times of dry weather and as an effort to reduce manual labor.
