The Best Mulch for Dubai Gardens
Dubai’s intense sunlight can quickly dry exposed soil, stressing plant roots and evaporating irrigation water. The right mulch creates a protective layer that reduces evaporation, protects roots from heat, and improves soil for long-term plant health.
Why it matters
Why mulch is essential in Dubai
Without protection, plant roots become stressed and irrigation water evaporates rapidly in Dubai’s heat. Mulch creates a protective soil layer that reduces evaporation, protects roots from heat, and improves soil conditions for long-term plant health.
Materials
