I’m a gardening expert- if you don’t have green fingers there’s one product to use to guarantee a low-maintenance garden
A GARDENING expert is offering a tip to help those who don't have a green thumb.
The product can help guarantee a low-maintenance garden and keep plants and flowers healthy and thriving.
While there are a handful of products available for gardeners to consider, some are more efficient and time-effective than others.
If you're looking for an effective way to keep up with your garden or lawn while also saving time on maintenance, consider mulch.
Mulch is a top-layer covering used to protect soil.
Experts say the best mulch is biodegradable and made of natural materials, because they'll decompose and enhance the soil underneath.
Wood chips, leaves, grass clippings, and pine bark are just a few examples of materials that can be used as mulch.
By using mulch, you're adding a protective barrier to the soil, which will work well against the natural elements.
This can also help reduce the number of weeds that grow in your garden.
Smaller materials are better for your garden, while larger materials will work well for walking paths and other areas.

Mulch also retains moisture, so you may not need to water your garden as much, which also helps with the maintenance.
As far as purchasing mulch, if you plan to use it across a large swath of land, you can purchase in bulk.
But beware of the materials you're purchasing to ensure that they'll decompose and enhance your garden.
