Mulching does wonders for your garden.
As well as looking good, mulching conserves water up to 50%. Mulching suppresses weeds and keeps roots cool. It also promotes beneficial microbial activity at the soil level and encourages earthworm activity.
All plants can benefit from mulching, but we especially recommend it for fruit trees and roses. We suggest a mulch layer 3-4 inches thick. One that we particularly like is Micro-bark. It has a nice look and breaks down relatively soon.
Apply a thick layer of mulch. Your garden will enjoy the results. It keeps the roots cool and may assist with weed prevention.
Don’t mulch right up to the plant trunk or stem. Leave 4 to 6 inches of breathing room.
