Growing Mushrooms in Cypress Mulch? Yes, Please!

Wednesday, 10 March 2021 by admin

Because of Covid-19 restrictions, people all over the world have taken up hobbies that keep them occupied while they are quarantining and socially distancing from friends and family. This includes horticulture. If you have even a tiny space to grow plants, you can do this little hobby while staying safe at home and keeping a peaceful mindset with all that is going on in the outside world. Aside from monsteras, philodendrons, pothoses, alocasias, and other plants that have grown (pun intended) quite famous these days, you might also want to add some fungi into the mix. Why mushrooms, you ask? Like most plants, they play an integral part in our ecosystem. Plus, the edible ones are packed with protein and vitamins, which could be an excellent substitute for meat if you are thinking of eating less. Start your mushroom farming journey here. Don’t forget to get in touch with Labrador Landscape Supplies for cypress mulch, sand, soil, and other gardening and landscaping needs.

Using Cypress Mulch and Other Tips to Improve Watering Your Plants

Friday, 29 January 2021 by admin

Water is critical to the plants’ survival in your garden, or even if you’re only growing a few ones in pots. Water carries the dissolved nutrients that plants need to absorb, required for photosynthesis, as a running evaporative cooling system, and helps plants stand upright. Here are our tips, such as using cypress mulch, to improve how you water your plants.

Targeting and timing are important

If you can, group plants according to their water requirements. This may need a bit of research. Vegetable gardens need to be watered at least twice a day during the summer months. Whatever plants you’re watering, always target the roots as well as the leaves. Watering in the morning and early evening reduces evaporation loss, giving time for the water to percolate into the soil down to the roots. Leaves will also not dry out quickly.

Do you use cypress mulch or pine bark mulch? We know that mulches, in general, are used for helping the soil hold more moisture and protecting plants from extreme temperatures. This article is not favouring one mulch over the other. If anything, we are here to help you form the best decisions as to which is more suitable for your gardening or landscaping needs. Before we compare the two mulches, we must first get to know them individually.

Cypress mulch

An organic material used for landscaping and gardening, cypress mulch is naturally fungus and pest resistant. It is known for suppressing weed and weed seed growth. As it breaks down, the mulch will be a good source of nutrients for the soil.

Should You Use Cypress Mulch for Indoor Plants?

Monday, 16 November 2020 by admin

Many gardeners love cypress mulch for several reasons, the main one being that it is organic and inexpensive. When laid flat in a thick mat on soil, it keeps weeds from growing or unwanted seeds or plants from tunnelling down into the soil. When used in outdoor gardens, it stays in place through wind and rain. So, can it be used for indoor potted plants and gardens? The answer is, yes. It not only adds nutrients to the soil but also lasts several seasons before it starts to decompose completely. It also doesn’t change the soil’s pH levels.

Using Cypress Mulch: If You Started Growing Veggies During the Pandemic, Keep Doing It Even When Normalcy Returns

Friday, 09 October 2020 by admin

The COVID-19 pandemic produced a run on a lot of things so people could stay busy at home. One of these is growing a vegetable garden. This turn to produce food at home was prompted in part by the sudden high prices or empty veggie shelves, and in part to stay sane during a lockdown. Many beginners venturing into gardening learned a lot of things such as making an organic compost and using cypress mulch to improve the soil.

But, as the pandemic is continuing with no end in sight, we strongly advise that you continue your vegetable gardening, and even find ways to expand it. In fact, when things go back to normal, having that veggie garden as a permanent hobby will be a lifetime benefit.

Wednesday, 10 June 2020 by admin

While the majority of people keep dogs and cats as pets, some keep other animals as pets such as turtles, goats, sheep, goldfish, snakes, etc. No matter what type of pet a person has, the pet’s safety is always of utmost concern, especially when it involves having a sort of playpen, and litter box, for the pet. Also, some pets love spending time outdoors, so these pens need to be outdoors. But instead of buying expensive materials to serve as lining or flooring for pet pens, you can purchase inexpensive cypress mulch or other types of mulch from landscaping sellers.

Monday, 30 March 2020 by admin

Cypress Mulch

Our furry friends are family, and being part of a family means creating a safe and healthy environment for them. That is why we take them to the vet, give them vitamins, feed them with the right food, and build a playpen. If you have created a playpen for your pets but are downright harmful to them, you can build a natural one using cypress mulch.

Yes. Cypress mulch or any wood mulch are safer alternatives for dogs and cats. They don’t carry any natural toxic materials that could be harmful to your pets in the long run. That is why it is the perfect choice for your main material in making a dog run or play pen for your pets.
