Tips For Storing Mulch Topsoil

By Ronald Reed


In planting, you cannot just plant anywhere, the soil should consist of a topsoil. Topsoil is the outermost layer and the topmost layer. Mulch is added into this in order to make the soil more fertilize, moisturize, and healthy. It also reduces the amount of weeds that grows. Many stores are already selling mulch topsoil in NJ.

Whether you are a contractor who have a stockpiling supplies of this for your multiple projects or you are a homeowner who over spend and ended up having too much. You know that these things can be stored for later use. The following below are some tips that you could follow on how to store such.

For you to be able to use reuse it later, it is important that you know the proper storing steps. When you leave it exposed to various elements, it can decay and get damage easily. Now if that happens, then you must dispose it since you can no longer make use of it, this means more money is spent since you need to buy another one again.

Try to slow down the growth of fungus to avoid leaching the nutrients and the topsoil to rot and decay. What you could do is keep them away from too much moisture. They must be placed on the place where it is going to be in good condition where also air can flow without a problem.

How long do you plan on storing them determines what sort of measurement and storage methods would you need to do to preserve it. For those who are plan to have it for only an ample amount of time, these will be just fine. However, for those of you who are planning for a longer storage, there are more steps in which you needed to do.

For short term storing, this applies for one week to two weeks, leave them exposed and you do not have to do anything. The only time you need to work is when there is rain and humidity is high. Keep it away from water and it must not get wet. You may not need this as you will be using it right away.

For those that plans for a 1 to 2 months of storage, a tarp and some stake must be readied. During weather the tarp will keep it safe some becoming wet. The stake on the other hand is responsible for keeping the edges of the tarp from the pile. The opening below will let air comes inside, which is an important factor to have.

Long term, three months and above. For long term, store it in an area where the ground does not moisture. Make sure that air can still flow inside. A good idea is to build a storage area where you get to place them all throughout the time. This can be made out of wood, which most individuals usually do.

All in all, the best thing that you could do is avoid having the need of storage. When buying, estimate how much would you only use and make sure to not exceed over it. You may just buy another when you run out of it. That would be better than to waste that much money over to your decaying mulches.
