Mulches Tips

Apply mulch around your plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Choose organic mulches like bark chips, straw, or compost for added nutrients. Make sure to maintain a layer of 2-3 inches of mulch but avoid piling it against plant stems to prevent rot. Refresh mulch periodically to keep it looking tidy and effective. Mulching also provides a habitat for beneficial insects and microorganisms.
