Your Tips Into Storing Mulch Topsoil

By Ronald Reed


Topsoil is crucial when it comes to planting. This top and outermost layer of soil is where most biological soil activity occurs. Mulch is added into this for moisture, to improve fertility and health, to reduce weeds from growing, and to enhance the appearance of the area. Luckily, many are selling mulch topsoil in NJ.

There might only be two reasons why you need to store such, either you are a contractor that has a load supplies of this for your upcoming projects or a homeowner that ended up with a great excess of topsoil. Luckily, such thing can still be use for a long time, you just need to store it. Here are tips on how you should store this.

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.

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 those who plan for 1 to 2 weeks of storage, you only have to do some simple steps. You just need to do that much if at that time, rain is constant and humidity level keeps going up. During such times, keep it away that no water will reach it. This might not be needed when no rain is present and humidity is just right.

Medium term, one to two months. For medium term and your area that time of the month is usually the rainy season, cover a tarp over the pile and use a stake. The cover must not reached far down below that air can no longer get inside which is the stake is for, air should flow in the inside smoothly.

For long term storing, such as three months to four months and above, you might want to build a storage place. Something solid and well built. Look for a good place to build it, somewhere that does not have a ground that moisture every once in a while. Ensure that there is still room for the air to flow. Mostly, it is made from wood.

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.
