Preguntas Frecuentes
How much mulch do I need?
Calculate area in square feet, then multiply by desired depth in decimal (2 inches = 0.167 feet). Divide by 324 to convert to cubic yards.
How deep should mulch be?
2-3 inches is standard for beds. 4-6 inches for heavy weed suppression. 1 inch for fine mulches. Avoid piling mulch against plant stems.
What is the best mulch type?
Wood chips are durable and economical. Shredded bark is attractive and longer-lasting. Straw is good for vegetables. Compost improves soil while suppressing weeds.
How often should I replace mulch?
Organic mulches decompose over time. Refresh every 1-2 years or as coverage thins. Hardwood chips last 3-4 years.
Can I mulch in spring or fall?
Spring mulching (after soil warms) suppresses weeds. Fall mulching provides winter insulation. Both are beneficial at different times.
