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
