The Garden Barn is proud to now offer Sweet Peet organic mulch! Sweet Peet is a blend of organic materials that functions as a mulch while conditioning your soil. Since it degrades into humus it doesn't have to be raked up and removed every few years like traditional bark mulch; it becomes part of your garden soil. According to the Sweet Peet website,
"Sweet Peet® is the premium organic mulch for flower and vegetable gardens. Sweet Peet® buffers both acid and alkaline (low and High pH) soils by helping to maintain the desired gardening Sweet Spot. During its formulation, Sweet Peet® goes through a thermal stage where weeds and weed seeds are destroyed, preventing contamination in your garden.
Sweet Peet® is the best organic mulch for a vegetable garden because it enriches the soil, transforms into humus, improves tilth, encourages beneficial earthworms and replenishes microbes that are often destroyed by harsh chemicals and acid rain.
Like most mulches, Sweet Peet® suppresses weeds by smothering the soil. But Sweet Peet does more; it is produced to optimize the naturally occurring cat-ion exchange which creates an undesirable growing medium for weeds. This is where to buy organic mulch, the best organic mulch, for your vegetable garden."
We are happy to support this innovative product and we can't wait to hear how it performs in your gardens!
