The Benefits of Mulching
Mulch is generally used as a method of managing the condition of your soil. If your soil is sandy, dry, or prone to weeds, mulch can help! Consider these compelling benefits of mulch:
- Mulch reduces the growth of weeds by preventing the sunlight from reaching them. With the ground covered in a thick layer of mulch, weeds aren’t able to poke through to the sunlight as quickly.
- With the help of mulch, your plants can thrive. After mulch cuts down on the amount of weeds in your beds, your plants are able to take in all of the water and nutrients in the soil without competition.
- Mulch allows you to conserve water because it retains moisture and reduces evaporation. That means you can water less frequently in order to cut your costs. In addition, mulch softens the impact of rain on your bed.
- Mulch regulates the temperature of your soil so that the roots of your plants are protected from extreme heat or cold.
- If you choose high quality mulch, you’re choosing a long-term solution. As good mulch decomposes, it leaves behind rich, healthy soil.
Why Fine Cover Mulch?
As you may know, there are many different types of mulches. Whittier Fertilizer’s fine cover mulch is ideal for summer or growing mulch. We recommend that you use fine cover mulch to help the soil warm up as summer approaches and weeds begin to sprout up. In addition, fine cover mulch retains moisture well so that water goes further during the hot months of summer.
Fine cover mulch is an attractive option for gardens containing annuals and perennials. One advantage of fine cover mulch is that it is often much less expensive than some of the other similar options. Finally, fine cover mulch is an excellent choice because, despite its slow decomposition rate, it stays in place well.

Osvaldo –
Do you sell this by the bag rather than having it delivered? I don’t have a truck but I have an SUV and can easily put several bags of mulch back there. Thanks!
Whittier Fertilizer –
Osvaldo, WFC does sell fine cover mulch in a 2 cf bag
Thanks
Jacob –
I have purchased fine cover mulch by the truckload in the past (10cy+/-). But, distributing it one wheel barrow load at time is slow work. Buying the same mulch by the pallet in bags, may make it a lot faster to distribute. Do you sell it bagged by the pallet load, and if so, what is the price, and the delivery to Fullerton?
Whittier Fertilizer –
JACOB, YES WE DO SELL IT IN 2 CF BAGS AND COST IS $3.50 PER BAG + $90.00 DELIVERY CHARGE
TO FULLERTON AND WE EITHER DUMP THE BAGS OR STACK THEM RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRUCK
THANKS

Matt –
What type of wood is the fine cover mulch made from? Is it organic or sprayed with anything? Where’s it coming from?
Whittier Fertilizer –
Matt, cover mulch is from material like trees , brush and lumber just about any kind of wood that is clean (no paint, glue, stain etc.)
Most of the material comes from lumber yard and gardeners/landscapers that trim trees and brush
Hope this helps
Thank You
