YOUR COMMUNITY PALS,
Here are some of the benefits provided by mulching: | |
^ retains soil moisture | ^ more visually appealing | ^ encourages & rewards soil microbes and invertebrates | |
^ reduces weed & turf growth | ^ prevents mower & string trimmer blight | ^ prevents soil temperature extremes | |
^ increases soil fertility | ^ improves soil structure | | |
|
Life in the Arboretum. Mulch all the way to the dripline if you really want to minimize the influence of turf (allelopathic & competition for nutrients/water/space). Depth around 3 inches |

When mulch kills! Be CAREFUL!!! 
AVOID volcano mulch... applying over 3 inches ... contact with the trunk ... 'sour' mulch
