Mulching

Mulching

Mulch is made of organic materials such as leaves, grass clippings, straw, bark, compost, sawdust, shredded newspaper, or cardboard. You can purchase a mulch mixture through your local garden center.

Adding a layer of mulch spread around the base of your trees can help retain moisture, inhibit weed growth, and regulate soil temperature. However, avoid placing the mulch directly against the trunk to prevent the risk of root rot.
