How to properly use mulch:
If you like using mulch to prevent weed growth, here’s a proper way to use it:
- Mulch piled up like a volcano around a tree trunk kills the tree over time and should be avoided.
- Apply a 2- to 4- inch layer of organic mulch around the tree like a donut without touching the trunk.
- Don't use landscape fabric below mulch, and add fresh mulch on top of older layers, not exceeding 4 inches total
