The Benefits of Mulching and How to Do It Right
Mulching is a quick and effective way to keep your garden healthy with minimal effort.
1. Pick Your Mulch
Organic Options: Wood chips, straw, grass clippings, or leaves. These enrich the soil as they break down.
Inorganic Options: Gravel or rubber mulch. These provide long-lasting weed control but don’t add nutrients.
2. Prepare the Area
Clear away weeds and lightly water the soil.
3. Apply the Mulch
Spread a layer of mulch 2 to 4 inches deep around your plants, keeping it away from stems and trunks.
4. Refresh as Needed
Check your mulch yearly and add more as it decomposes or looks thin.
5. Don’t Overdo It
Avoid piling on too much mulch, which can block water and air from reaching the soil.
