Factor to Consider When Buying Triple Ground Shredded Mulch

When buying shredded mulch, there are various qualities that need to be considered, based on the requirements you have. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when decided what shredded mulch you need for your landscape or garden:

Coverage: It is important to measure the area that you plan to mulch and calculate how much mulch you need. You will want to apply about 2 to 4 inches of mulch, on average. At Kurtz Nursery, we can assist you in deciding on the quantity of shredded mulch you need if we know the dimensions of the garden. You can also use our mulch calculator to learn more about calculating how much shredded mulch you will need.
Color: There are various colors of shredded mulch that you will find, ranging from very light to very dark browns. This depends on the type of wood that is used to create the mulch. Dyed mulch is also available to improve the aesthetic appeal of your landscape. Both dyed and un-dyed mulch lose color over time, but dyed can hold it for several months longer.
Shred Type: If the mulch you choose is single shredded, you will find that it has very long strands and is quite coarse. Double shredded mulch is about four to six inches, while triple shredded mulch is the most compact at one to three inches. As the shred becomes finer, the mulch locks itself together more closely and stays in place better.
Weed Control: Triple shredded mulch is more effective at weed control than the other types of mulch because it locks together, preventing air and sunlight from reaching the weeds. Single shreds can leave a lot of room for sunlight, so it is not as useful for weed prevention.
Erosion Prevention: All types of shredded mulch can be applied along hilly slopes to stop soil erosion. Since mulch has a tendency to settle down and become compact, there is no issue of soil blowing or washing away. Triple shredded mulch offers a more finished appearance than coarser varieties.

The Difference Between Double and Triple Ground Shredded Mulch

Both double and triple ground shredded mulch are very useful for maintaining an attractive landscape and garden. More importantly, they keep the soil healthy and well-moisturized so that plants can thrive through harsh climate changes.

The main difference between double shredded mulch and triple shredded mulch is how long it takes to decompose. Finer mulches tend to incorporate into the soil much sooner than coarser ones. This means they may need to be replaced or reapplied more often, but it also means that nutrients are being added to the soil more quickly. Finally, the choice between these two shreds comes down to specific needs and requirements that your plants may have.
