Bark is used mainly in gardening for decorating green areas and gardens. It provides a great weed control and soil aeration solution and helps prevent soil from overdrying and protect against temperature fluctuations. Pine bark is ideal for mulching, as it helps control weed growth, prevents the upper soil layer from drying out under conifers and provides for excellent water storage in the summer. With bark lining, your shrubbery will be able to handle spring ground frost and cold winter weather more efficiently and will grow stronger and healthier, as bark prevents certain fungi from growing.
