Mulch is beneficial for a number of reasons. It slows weed growth, improves moisture retention in your soil and gives any garden area a fresh, finished look.

We recommend a fall application. The garden will be ready to go in the spring when most people have less time on their hands, the damage to plants will be minimized since there is no tender growth emerging and you can take advantage of more comfortable fall working temperatures.
