Mulch Types?
There is a wide variety of wood and bark products available for mulching. Wood and bark have an advantage as they decompose faster, enriching the soil. Primary selection is based on desired appearance and cost. Some can be colored to match the paint color of the home or landscape features.
Benefits Of Mulch
Wood or bark mulch is great around trees, shrubs, perennials, and small fruits. A wood/bark mulch creates a favorable environment for earthworms and soil microorganisms. Over time, this helps reduce soil compaction.
In perennial and shrub beds, wood/bark chips can reduce the need for irrigation by as much as 50%. Mulching materials that mesh together are more effective at reducing water evaporation from the soil. Under acute water restrictions, gardeners with wood/bark mulch have been incorrectly accused of illegally irrigating because their plants are still faring well, compared to the neighbors!
Wood/bark mulch is not recommended in vegetable or annual flowerbeds where the soil is routinely cultivated to prepare a seedbed.
When applied correctly, mulch has the following beneficial effects on plants and soil:
- Prevent loss of water from the soil by evaporation.
- Reduce the growth of weeds, when the mulch material itself is weed-free and applied deeply enough to prevent weed germination or to smother existing weeds.
- Keep the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, thus maintaining a more even soil temperature.
- Prevent soil splashing, which not only stops erosion but keeps soil-borne diseases from splashing up onto the plants.
- Improve the soil structure. As the mulch decays, the material becomes topsoil. Decaying mulch also adds nutrients to the soil.
- Prevent crusting of the soil surface, thus improving the absorption and movement of water into the soil.
- Prevent the trunks of trees and shrubs from damage by lawn equipment.
- Prevent soil compaction.
- Can add to the beauty of the landscape by providing a cover of uniform color and interesting texture to the surface.
- Plants have more roots than plants that are not mulched, because mulched plants will produce additional roots in the mulch that surrounds them
How Deep To Apply Mulch?
The amount of mulch to apply depends on the texture and density of the mulch material. Many wood and bark mulches are composed of fine particles and should not be more than 2 to 3 inches deep. Excessive amounts of these fine-textured mulches can suffocate plant roots, resulting in yellowing of the leaves and poor growth.
Coarse-textured mulches such as pine bark nuggets allow good air movement through them and can be as deep as 4 inches.
The desired depth of wood/bark depends on size. Smaller size should not exceed a one to two inch depth. Larger size are typically applied at three to four inches deep. Thicker layers may reduce soil oxygen. Additional mulch needs to be added every few years to bring the mulch depth back to the desired amount.
With the larger size , three to four inches are needed for effective weed control and to eliminate the compaction forces of foot traffic. It is common to see where the mulch is too thin and does not provide for weed control and compaction management.
On compacted and/or clay soil, three to four inches of wood/bark may reduce water evaporation from the soil surface so much that susceptible plants develop root rots in wet years or under frequent irrigation.
In wet soil situations, mulching may be undesirable as it may help hold excessive water leading to root rots.
Where To Use Mulch?
Mulching is a very important practice for establishing new plantings, because it helps to conserve moisture in the root ball of the new plant until the roots have grown out into the surrounding soil. The growth rate and health of trees and shrubs increases when there is no competition for water and nutrients from weeds. Mulch also helps to prevent tree trunk injury by mowers and trimmers. Mulch entire beds of shrubs, trees, annuals, herbaceous perennials and ground covers.
Mulch can also be used to cover trails, driveways, and play and natural areas.
Mulch Around Trees
Wood/bark mulch is great for trees and shrubs, protecting trees from lawnmower damage. However, do not make “mulch volcanoes” around tree trunks by applying chips up against a tree’s trunk. Wet mulch piled up against the trunk can cause bark problems and interfere with the natural trunk taper, making the tree more prone to wind throw. Keep the mulch back at least 6” from the trunk.
When And How Often To Mulch?
The best time to mulch new plantings is right after you plant them. Around established plants mulch is best applied in early spring. This is when plants are beginning to grow and before weed seeds start to germinate.
