Mulching offers numerous benefits for your garden. It helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. To mulch effectively, first, remove any existing weeds or grass. Spread a layer of organic mulch, such as bark chips or straw, around your plants, keeping it a few inches away from the stems to prevent rot. Aim for a depth of 2-4 inches. Replenish the mulch as needed throughout the growing season. Avoid piling mulch directly against plant stems, as it can create a moist environment that encourages fungal diseases.
