How to Mulch Beds Refresh

Mulch breaks down over time, fading to gray and losing its moisture-retention and weed-suppression benefits. This annual landscape maintenance involves removing weeds from garden beds, edging for a clean line, removing excessively decomposed old mulch, and adding fresh mulch to restore the 2-3 inch depth that provides optimal benefits. Fresh mulch instantly improves curb appeal, retains soil moisture reducing watering needs by 25-50%, suppresses weeds, and protects plant roots from temperature extremes.
