Mulch flower beds

Less weeding, less watering.

3 min read

A layer of mulch keeps soil moist, cools roots and blocks weeds.

How

  • Spread about 2 inches of shredded bark, leaves or compost
  • Keep mulch a few inches away from stems
  • Don't pile it thick over crowns of perennials
  • Refresh each year as it breaks down
