Mulch Madness

DIY Tip of the Day!

Mulching plant beds has many benefits. Mulch will prevent weed growth, hold in soil moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Do's and Don'ts of Mulching

-Don't spread your mulch more than 3-4" thick.

-Don't pile new mulch on top of old mulch. Clean out beds before spreading mulch.

-Do leave space around tree and shrubs. Piling mulch around trunks will encourage disease and insects.

-Do use a landscape fabric under your mulch. This will help prevent weeds.

And remember to visit one of our store where we have landscape fabric and a variety of bulk and bagged mulch available.
