Did you already mulch shrub beds? Pay particular attention to mulching around rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias.
Mulching with a deep layer of organic matter helps to suppress weed growth and conserve soil moisture during the summer.
Prevent winter damage in your garden: mulching reduces compaction and soil erosion that can commonly follow heavy rain.
Cold, wet, windy winter weather can damage trees and shrubs: staking plants and mulching helps to prevent this.
Mulching is a good job for children who just want to have fun, get muddy, and throw muck around the garden.
Do not let your soil dry out: Mulching with a layer of organic matter or gravel reduces the loss of soil moisture.
Mulching borders can help retain moisture and keep down the weeds: this will save a lot of work!
