Useful tips regarding mulch

Weeding: a first rule to follow before spreading the mulch. Perennial weed rhizomes, such as quackgrass, pass through mulch if they are not removed beforehand.

Quantity: for perennials and annuals, a thickness of 3 to 5 cm is sufficient. For shrubs, 7-10 cm mulch is perfect. As for the trees, a 7 cm mulch is sufficient, but we can put about 20 to 25 cm, up to the trunk.
