Trees and shrubs benefit from mulch spread at least as far as their outermost branches (the “dripline”). To prevent diseases and pest infestation, avoid piling mulch against tree trunks. |
| |
Use a layer of course mulch 3 or more inches in depth for weed control. |

Spread mulches under annuals after they are well established (4-6 inches tall). |

Water the ground thoroughly before and after applying a mulch cover. |
