Every spring, we aim to give our yard the extra love and care it missed during the cold and brisk winter months. Your efforts at the beginning of spring can determine how your yard looks until next winter rolls around. One way to take your garden or property to the next level is by mulching. You may already do this in your yard routine, but it may be costing you an unnecessary amount of money. If you don't mulch your yard, then the extra cost might be the reason you’re avoiding it.
