H2: What’s the Purpose of Mulching?

Mulching controls weeds, regulates soil temperature, improves moisture retention, and boosts plant health.


H2: Option 1 – Mulching Film

Pros:

  • Blocks light 100%, excellent weed control

  • Warms soil faster – ideal for thermophilic crops (tomatoes, peppers)

  • Often biodegradable (e.g. Agrimpex BIOFilm)

Cons:

  • Requires precise installation

  • Not breathable — may trap too much moisture


H2: Option 2 – Agrofabric (Ground Cover)

Pros:

  • Breathable and water-permeable

  • Excellent for perennial crops, strawberries, blueberries

  • Reusable and durable over seasons

Cons:

  • Weeds may grow through poorly anchored edges

  • Does not warm soil as quickly as film
