Transform Your
Autumn Garden
with Fall Mulching
FAMILY FEATURES
Applying
mulch during
the fall
months provides multiple
benefi ts for your
garden and landscape.
A key element in
boosting curb appeal,
mulch also insulates
soil, protecting plant
roots from extreme temperature fl uctuations, and suppresses
weed growth.
The optimal time to apply mulch is after the fi rst hard
frost but before the ground freezes solid. Applying
mulch too early can attract pests and diseases that
thrive in warm, moist environments. Conversely,
mulching too late can prevent the soil from warming
up suffi ciently, potentially stressing plants.
Consider these steps for effective
fall mulch application:
Prepare Your Outdoor Space
Remove weeds and debris from the area you plan to
mulch. This allows for even distribution and ensures the
mulch layer is free from potential pest habitats.
Choose Your Mulch
Select an appropriate type of mulch based on your
garden needs and aesthetic preferences. Consider materials
that provide both insulation and nutrient benefi ts,
such as organic mulches like wood chips, shredded
leaves or compost that break down over time and add
organic matter to the soil. For decorative purposes,
bark mulch can provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance
while performing similar protective functions.
Apply the Mulch
Spread a layer of mulch about 2-4 inches thick around
your plants to allow for adequate air circulation and
moisture retention, making sure to keep the mulch a few
inches away from plant stems to prevent rot and pest
infestations. For trees and shrubs, create a donut-shaped
ring of mulch around the base.
Check and Maintain Mulch
Regularly check the mulch throughout the cooler
months. Add more mulch if necessary to maintain the
desired thickness, especially after heavy rains or wind.
