The Importance of Mulching in Winter
Mulching in winter is a crucial step in protecting your plants from the cold. While Jernigan Landscaping doesn’t sell mulch, we understand its importance and can advise on the best types for your garden. Organic mulches like wood chips or straw are excellent for insulation, keeping the soil warm and moist.

Understanding the Difference: Mulch vs. Pine Straw
When considering winter garden care, it’s essential to understand the difference between mulch and pine straw. Mulch, typically made from organic materials like wood chips or bark, is excellent for retaining soil moisture, regulating temperature, and suppressing weeds. It decomposes over time, adding nutrients to the soil. Pine straw, on the other hand, is made from fallen pine needles and is particularly beneficial for acid-loving plants, as it slightly acidifies the soil as it breaks down. Pine straw is also lighter and easier to spread, making it a great choice for covering large areas. Both options have unique benefits, and the choice depends on your garden’s specific needs and aesthetic preferences.
