Mulch Application Tips
Mulch is a beneficial addition to your flower garden. Mulching creates a barrier that keeps the roots of your perennial plants cool with locked-in moisture during the hot dry summer.
Organic mulches break down over time giving the soil essential nutrients for perennial plants. While mulch won’t stop the growth of weeds, it will reduce the amount.
Placing Mulch
Always weed before covering flower beds in mulch. Spread a flat layer of mulch 2 to 3 inches thick throughout your flower bed.
Place the mulch around and between perennials and shrubs but keep it a couple of inches away from the plants.
Be careful not to cover the plants with mulch or let it touch the plant stems, as this will lead to too much moisture and could invite disease.
Winter Mulching
In colder climates, mulching after the ground freezes protects the perennial and shrub’s roots from extreme temperature changes.
Use dried leaves or straw as mulch in the wintertime.
Gradually remove the mulch by scraping it aside in the spring to slowly acclimate the plants to the warmer weather.
Maintaining Mulch
Sometimes mulch occasionally needs to be redistributed and replenished.
Gently rake the mulch to keep it from packing down in hard rain and prevent weeds from growing.
