How to use mulch

A good rule of thumb is to apply mulch at least 2-3" deep around the root zone of trees, shrubs, flowers, vegetable gardens and even to outdoor and indoor container plants. It should not be placed up on the trunks of trees to prevent smothering of trees.

Weed fabric may be used under the mulch as an added measure to keep weeds down. Do NOT use black plastic as it does not allow the exchange of water and oxygen that plant roots require. Plastics also cause rainwater to runoff the property, and you want to retain it!​

If plastic is already installed you can take a garden fork and punch holes in it, especially around the perimeter of plant and trees, to allow water to penetrate the feeder roots which will improve the health of plants.​

Newspaper, old carpeting, cardboard or other such materials covered with mulch will provide excellent weed suppression for paths.

Be creative with mulches. Use different textures and colors to define areas.
