Pine bark stays for a long time in the garden, unlike the other organic mulches. The natural bark of pine stays longer than any other wood in the yard. Other mulches tend to fade to gray after a period, but red, dark brown colored pine bark remains in the garden for a longer time. Compare to other mulches, pine bark is lightweight, and it can be spread quickly in the garden. Organic mulch prepared from pine bark helps in retaining moisture of plants and prevents soil-borne diseases from spreading.
