Yes, mulch benefits soil significantly. It conserves moisture, reduces erosion and moderates temperature swings. Organic meshes improve structure slowly and feed soil biology. Coarse mulch prevents compaction and compels roots to go deeper. Over time it breaks down into humus, enhancing soil fertility just enough. Rather than frequent feeding, mulch nourishes slowly and sustainably - ideal in gardens where adding fertilizers may defeat drought design principles.
