Mulching Tips & Guidelines
Optimal Depth
Apply mulch 2-4 inches deep for best results. Too deep can suffocate plants, too shallow won’t suppress weeds effectively.
When to Mulch
Apply mulch in mid-spring when soil has warmed up, and again in late fall to protect plant roots during winter.
Keep Away from Stems
Keep mulch 2-3 inches away from plant stems and tree trunks to prevent rot and pest problems.
Replenish Regularly
Organic mulches decompose over time. Replenish annually to maintain the desired depth and benefits.
