Vineyard Mulch, Screened  An affordable, organic alternative to expensive bark products, Screened Vineyard Mulch provides great background color and texture in landscaping applications. It suppresses weeds, conserves moisture, moderates soil temperatures, and controls erosion. (Click picture to enlarge) Vineyard Mulch undergoes a brief composting process at over 131°F that renders it virtually free of weed seeds and plant pathogens. To activate the process water from a dairy manure pond was used. As it slowly breaks down, it provides the organic matter, nutrients and microbes that help plants thrive. Worms thrive in soils that have a generous layer of Vineyard Mulch. Their tunneling activities allow oxygen to get to plant roots and their castings provide a beneficial nutrient input. Fungi are prolific in mulches since they are working hard to break this material down. This fungal activity plays a crucial role in improving soil structure by aggregating the soil. Occasionally, during the wet season, these fungi make their presence known by producing fruiting bodies: mushrooms. This a natural occurence, inherent to decomposition. For those who do not appreciate those 'guests' can simple rake the mushrooms and they will disappear rapidly. Vineyard Mulch is ideal for the demanding needs of North Coast grape growers. It's particularly suited for use on steep, hillside vineyards and when properly applied will reduce soil loss from erosion by up to 95%. It's easily applied by hand or with a tractor pulled spreader. . Tree Mulch, Screened -- Now Available  Tree Mulch is derived from tree stumps and logs. As such it is kind of a hybrid between Vineyard Mulch and Path Mulch. An affordable, organic alternative to expensive bark products, Screened Tree Mulch provides great background color and texture in landscaping applications.
