Tips For Storing Mulch Topsoil

By Ronald Reed


Topsoil is crucial when it comes to planting. This top and outermost layer of soil is where most biological soil activity occurs. Mulch is added into this for moisture, to improve fertility and health, to reduce weeds from growing, and to enhance the appearance of the area. Luckily, many are selling mulch topsoil in NJ.

There can only be 2 reasons for storing topsoil with mulches. One, a contractor that stock up on such supply for different projects. Two, a homeowner who bought too much which ended up with a stock full of loads that cannot be used as of the moment. Since, these can just be stored and used later on, there will be no problem not unless you do not know how to store them.

For you to be able to use reuse it later, it is important that you know the proper storing steps. When you leave it exposed to various elements, it can decay and get damage easily. Now if that happens, then you must dispose it since you can no longer make use of it, this means more money is spent since you need to buy another one again.

In storing such organic material, you want to slow down the development of fungus and so does the leaching of nutrients. When there is fungus, your mulches and topsoil will decay and rot, and so on. In order to avoid such thing from happening and to keep them in good condition, you must avoid excess moisture and flowing air.

The preservation ways and methods depends on the number of days you will be storing them. For those who are only storing it for a couple of days, you can just leave it as it is. Only do another steps when the storage period takes longer than a couple of months.

For short term storing, this applies for one week to two weeks, leave them exposed and you do not have to do anything. The only time you need to work is when there is rain and humidity is high. Keep it away from water and it must not get wet. You may not need this as you will be using it right away.

Medium term, one to two months. For medium term and your area that time of the month is usually the rainy season, cover a tarp over the pile and use a stake. The cover must not reached far down below that air can no longer get inside which is the stake is for, air should flow in the inside smoothly.

For 3 months and above, consider yourself building a storage place indicated for your topsoil only. Build something that would last for a long period of time, it must be well built. The area where you are gonna be placing it must not have a ground that moist a lot. For a cheap storage, use a wood in building it.

All in all, the best thing that you could do is avoid having the need of storage. When buying, estimate how much would you only use and make sure to not exceed over it. You may just buy another when you run out of it. That would be better than to waste that much money over to your decaying mulches.
