Organic mulch is the best type of mulch to have and often contains chopped up leaves, compost, chips of wood, shredded bark, pine needles, straw, and grass trimmings. Organic mulch decomposes so that soil can improve.
Inorganic mulch contains black plastic and landscape fabrics. Inorganic types of mulches do not enrich the soil; however, the heat that it radiates keeps heat-loving vegetables such as cherry tomatoes and veggies warm and vital.
