Mulching is a well-established practice that conserves moisture, reduces soil erosion, suppresses weeds, and regulates soil temperature. Carbon-based mulches, such as compost-derived mulches, offer additional benefits by enriching soil with organic matter and supporting microbial life. With climate change intensifying droughts and heavy rainfall, mulching will become even more essential in soil and plant management. This presents an opportunity for commercial compost manufacturers, as compost-based mulches have shown unique advantages in landscaping, agriculture, and stormwater management. Research indicates that medium or coarsely screened compost and compost overs can serve as effective, sustainable mulch alternatives.
