Apply a layer of peat moss or substrates as a natural mulch around plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.


Peat moss and peat-based substrates can be effectively used as natural mulch around plants. Applying a layer on the soil surface helps retain moisture by reducing evaporation, ensuring consistent hydration for plant roots. Additionally, it suppresses weed growth by blocking sunlight from reaching the soil, minimizing competition for nutrients. This simple, organic mulching method also improves soil texture over time as it breaks down, contributing to overall soil health.
