Mulch (Leaf)
Applications & Uses
Leaf Mulch
Leaf mulch is an organic ground cover made from shredded or decomposed leaves. This natural material is typically produced by collecting fallen leaves, which are then processed to create a lightweight, nutrient-rich mulch. Unlike wood-based mulches, leaf mulch breaks down more quickly, enriching the soil with organic matter and essential nutrients as it decomposes.
The fine, soft texture of leaf mulch makes it easy to spread and ideal for use in garden beds, around trees, and in landscaping projects where soil health and moisture retention are priorities. Its rapid decomposition rate helps improve soil structure and fertility, making it especially beneficial for vegetable gardens and flower beds. Leaf mulch also provides excellent weed suppression and helps regulate soil temperature. While it may need to be replenished more frequently than wood mulches, its eco-friendly nature and soil-enhancing properties make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping.
