Mulch-On-Site for soil biodiversity
Benefits to Mulching-On-Site:
-
A resource efficient method (reduced, reused & recycled green waste, fossil fuels and financial resources)
- Pollution is reduced (creates natural biofilter to purify rainwater as it percolates through soil for groundwater recharging each season)
- Decreases negative off-site impacts (little 'waste' goes to local facilities, forest product conservation -i.e. conifer mulch)
- Creates stability over time (reduced maintenance time and cost in mature landscapes)
- Helps to restore injured soils (increased soil biodiversity replenishes sterile soils over time)
- Keeps healthy sites healthy (decreased need for fertilizers by small but constant N-P-K additions)
- Minimizes inflows and outflows (reduced need for movement of organic materials on or off-site)
Mouse over for savings!
Gaia Creations Mulch-On-Site techniques are our company Best Management Practice for green waste reduction. Green waste is any organic (carbon based) material removed from a landscape or garden such as grass clippings, flower and shrub debris, leaves, and larger tree trimmings.
Reducing the amount of green waste generated by urban landscapes -by directly reducing the need for city funded trips to the local landfill or green waste facilities- greatly diminishes the burden of local public agency resources benefiting the local community in many economical and environmentally favorable ways.
