Mulch tips

A lot of gardeners are quick with the mulch, wanting to get a fresh coat of shredded hardwood or wood chips over the garden beds ASAP to choke off weeds and make the yard “look nice.”

Now is fine to that, but a few weeks from now is even better.

A 2- to 3-inch new blanket of mulch will insulate the soil, which at this time of year means slowing the rate at which it warms. New mulch also will slow the rate of moisture evaporation.

That means mulching in early spring keeps the soil cooler and wetter longer – a move that’ll delay plant and root growth especially in cool, rainy Aprils.

So don’t fret if you can’t get to mulching now. Late April is actually better, and early to mid-May is better still.

Go ahead and get the beds ready for mulching, though, by cutting a sharp edge and removing any weeds that sprouted or survived winter.

Spring weather is almost here! We can't wait to blow mulch soon. Please have patience as the ground not completely thawed and mulching on top of cold ground will only slow spring growth.
