Just a little tip to avoid a mulch volcano!

Mulch is important to the health of your landscape. When it is applied properly it helps hold moisture in the soil, prevents w**d growth, regulates soil temperature, and protects the trunks of trees and shrubs from lawn equipment.

❌But when mulch is applied incorrectly, it can harm your plants. A common example of harmful mulch application is the mulch volcanoes you see around trees.

✅When applying mulch around trees and shrubs in the lawn, don’t mound it up around the trunk. You want it to be 3 to 4 inches deep and extend from the trunk 3 to 6 feet around the entire tree. Don’t allow the mulch to touch the trunk. Pull the mulch 2 to 3 inches away from the trunk to prevent problems, including disease and rodent damage.
