These 2 reasons are my biggies for mulching this summer. Also I cover what I'm amending my in-ground fig trees with before I add the mulch. Finally I have one important yet simple strategy I use to make sure my fig trees do well with their new mulch layer.
I had 6 cubic yards delivered to my home form Wilmington and about 1/3 went to my fig micro orchard. The rest covered the back of my property and other fruit trees and I may need more! That's ok with me after learning about how IMPORTANT it is to mulch your gardens and green space on a regular basis, to keep your plants healthy in this hot summer sun!
Let me know if you have any questions. I did this over a week ago, but wish I had done it this spring because geez was it hot haha!
Everyone stay safe and hydrated this summer gardening! Working in the mornings is crucial to beat the summer heat in the garden. What mulching strategies did you do this summer?!
