When To Mulch And The Importance Of Mulching

A tree and plants best friend is mulch. It is very important to mulch your trees and plants annually. When to mulch depends to a large extent on weather conditions. Early spring through the summer months is the most common practice and desirable since most weeds are still in dormancy.  Mulch is a valuable for your trees and plants health and care because it provides valuable nutrients as the mulch breaks down. Mulch encourages worms, which aerate the soil and provide fertilizer in the form of worm castings.
