Our guide below covers the best practices for mulching your landscape.
Now that the weather is warming, it is the perfect time to get outside and work on your garden. With summer on its way, you’ll want your garden to look its best. There is no better way to keep your garden gorgeous than using mulch.
Mulch can help protect against erosion, conserve moisture, and keep weeds at bay. If you aren’t sure where to start when it comes to mulch, Lehnhoff’s Supply is here to help! Our guide below covers the best practices for mulching your landscape.
How to Use Mulch in the Spring
Once the days get warmer and there are no more hard frosts, you can start thinking about spring mulching. Weed your garden bed and add a landscaping fabric to keep the weeds out. Make sure to cut holes in the fabric for your new baby plants to grow through.
Cover the landscaping fabric with your mulch to warm and enrich the soil. Your plants should grow happy and strong.
Where to Buy Mulch
Look for a reputable mulch dealer. This is crucial in finding a good place to buy mulch. You want to find a dealer who is known for selling high-quality mulch. Do some research online or ask around at your local nursery or garden center for recommendations.
Once you’ve found a few reputable dealers, it’s time to compare prices. Mulch is not a cheap product, so you want to ensure you get a good deal. Be sure to compare the price per cubic yard or bag and the shipping costs if you’re buying online.
What Not to Do With Mulch
When it comes to mulching your garden, there are a few things you’ll want to avoid. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your mulch.
Too Much Mulch
Avoid using too much mulch. This can smother your plants and prevent them from getting the needed oxygen and moisture.
Wrong Mulch Type
Don’t use the wrong type of mulch. Some mulches can be harmful to your plants. Research the best kind of mulch for your plants and location before applying it.
Old Mulch
Avoid using mulch that is too old. Mulch that is past its expiration date can start to decompose. Decomposing mulch can release harmful toxins into the soil. Get fresh mulch for your garden each year.
