Tips For Storing Mulch Topsoil

By Ronald Reed


Topsoil is vital when you talk about planting something. This is the outermost and topmost layer of the soil where most of the biological soil activity of the earth occurs. The topsoil and the mulch are added together in order to make it more moisturize, fertile, and healthy. It can even reduce the growing weeds. The good news is, many stores today are 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.

Know that it is important to store it properly so you may still reuse this. Leaving it exposed to elements can damage and decay them, this requires you to dispose them since it can no longer be used. This will cost you more money since you must buy the same stuff again. That is how important storing can be.

You want to be able to slow down fungus from developing as well as nutrients from leaching. The moment those fungi appears your topsoil will then starts to decay and rot. To avoid such dilemma, keep them away from excessive moisture. Makes sure that they are in good condition and flowing air is present.

The preservation ways and methods depends on the number of days you will be storing them. For those who are only storing it for a couple of days, you can just leave it as it is. Only do another steps when the storage period takes longer than a couple of months.

Short term, one to two weeks. For short term, you can just leave it exposed as no significant issues will happen not unless there is heavy rain or high level of humidity. You can just live it as it be and do nothing since in just a couple of days you are gonna be using it anyway, no need to worry.

For medium term storing, applicable up to one to two months, you may need a tarp and a stake. This is important and pretty much needed during rainy weather. What you do is cover the pile using the tarp while the stake keeps the edges of the tarp off the pile. This lets the air flow on the inside, which is needed.

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.

Still, the best option that you may do is to avoid the need of storage in the first place. If possible, only buy the right amount of mulches. Estimate how much would you only need. If in case, you ran out and you still needed more, then order another. It will be much better this way than to end up wasting them.
