Mulch will limit the quantity of water that evaporates from your soil, allowing you to water your plants less frequently and by permitting improved water and air passage through the soil by breaking up clay.  

Mulch also adds nutrients to sandy soil and enhances its water-holding capacity. It also gives instant color and a manicured appearance to your landscape beds, along the foundation of your home, around trees and shrubs, and between garden beds. 

Microbes and insects in the soil eat the mulch naturally over time, returning the by-products to the soil as organic matter.  

It also defends against temperature fluctuations. Mulch functions as an insulator, keeping plant roots cool in the summer and warm in the winter by regulating soil temperature
