What is mulching?
Mulching is an ecological technique that consists of covering the soil with a protective layer of organic materials such as wood chips, bark or plant debris. At Golf de la Grande Bastide, we have adopted this sustainable method to preserve the health of our grounds while respecting the environment.

At the entrance to the golf course, our grounds teams embellish the reception area with carefully planted flowerbeds. The mulch used around the plants reflects our commitment to sustainable, environmentally-friendly practices.
The benefits of mulching
By choosing mulch, we improve soil moisture retention, allowing more efficient use of irrigation water and contributing to the resilience of our green spaces in the face of changing climatic conditions. Mulching also helps to reduce weed growth, reducing the need for curative treatments. By enriching the soil with essential nutrients over time, mulching encourages more robust and sustainable plant growth.
By integrating mulching into our day-to-day management at Golf de la Grande Bastide, we are actively committed to preserving local biodiversity and promoting environmentally-friendly practices. It’s a tangible way of supporting responsible farming once again.
