When is it better to mulch the garden with tree bark: follow several important rules
The best time for mulching is autumn or spring. Therefore, you can already choose a place in the garden that will be mulched.
But in the spring, it is better to mulch the bed only after the soil has warmed up – usually at this time the first weeds begin to appear.
Some summer residents are of the opinion that it is better to mulch the soil no earlier than the beginning of May.
Let's take a look at some recommendations from the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What else do you need to know?
Before mulching, it is better to add fertilizer to the soil, as this will be much more difficult to do later.
It is necessary to remove weeds, loosen the soil and begin mulching - the total layer of bark or mulch should be from 3 to 7 cm.
Mulching the soil should only be done after the sown plants have emerged.
In the fall, you simply renew the top layer of mulch.
