Wood Chip Mulch: Benefits & How to Use It in Your Garden

If you have ever taken care of plants, you probably know how TLC they need. To keep your plants and soil healthy and thriving you need to apply a layer of mulch. When properly selected and correctly applied, mulch provides many benefits for plants. Wood chip mulch is one of the best choices for this purpose. Just take a look at the trees growing in the forest and you can spot chipped wood mulch on their bottom.

Wood chip mulch, especially pine bark and eucalyptus mulch, is the best option for native plants as they promote microorganism activity and enhance nutrients in the soil. As they decompose, they release nutrients into the soil, boosting the health of your plants. According to Australian arborists, wood chip mulch helps stop weed growth and provides superior water penetration. It also helps with moisture retention and stabilizes the soil’s temperature. All these qualities make wood chip mulch, such as pine bark and eucalyptus mulch, ideal for supporting the health of native trees, shrubs and flowers.

The Daybed: A Multi-Functional Piece of Furniture You’re Sure to Love

Now that social distancing and staying at home are one of the main ways to prevent the spreading of the coronavirus, we’re starting to realize how important the furniture in our home is and the level of comfort it provides. While sure, aesthetics is also an important factor, it doesn’t really make much of a difference whether you’ll be powering through your 40-hour workweek sitting on a blue or beige sofa.

A couple of months ago I purchased a fancy day bed in a modern design with button diamond tufts which I intended to use in my home office mainly as a decorative piece. Little did I know that it would soon turn into an accent piece in my living room! Thanks to their hybrid design, daybeds are something between a sofa and a bed, so by getting one you get to reap the benefits of both. Here are some of them.

My First Time Using a Natural Gas Grill (What Did I Learn from This?)

In my 34 years of grilling, I have never been so pleasantly surprised (and at times frustrated) by a grill as much as when using a natural gas powered grill. I thought I knew everything there is to grilling, but my first ever experience with a natural gas grill this past weekend, taught me a lot, even though I’ve been grilling since I was 18. For some reason, I never got the chance to cook on a natural gas grill so I went in with an open mind and realised (the hard way) that they are very effective and since they are powered by natural gas, they are environmentally friendly as well. Getting started can be a bit challenging even for experienced grillers like myself, so here’s everything a novice needs to know.
