Is Pine Bark Mulch Good? | A Daisy's Guide

The benefits of pine bark mulch are significant, including boosting soil health by adding nutrients, helping plants stay hydrated by retaining moisture, regulating soil temperature to protect against harsh weather, controlling erosion to keep soil in place, naturally repelling certain pests, and its matting properties on slopes or in windy areas to prevent it from moving.
