Landscape features vary significantly from house to house. Some homeowners may prefer water features on their properties, while oth- ers focus on flowers that would be the envy of a botanical garden. Regardless of those prefer- ences, lawn and garden enthusiasts who want to make their properties as idyllic as possible may eventually look to mulch to help them ac- complish that goal. Mulch helps soil retain moisture, which pro- motes strong, healthy flowers, plants, trees, and shrubs. And because soil beneath mulch retains more moisture than soil that's not pro- tected by mulch, homeowners won't have to spend as much time watering mulched land- scapes. That saves time and conserves wa- ter, which can be a big benefit in areas prone to drought and/or especially hot summers. Mulch also helps to suppress weed growth, which can ensure all that hard work needed to create an eye-catching garden won't be com- promised by the presence of unsightly, thirsty weeds. Mulching seems like a simple task, and it can be. But that does not mean homeowners cannot make mistakes when mulching. The following are some common mulching mis- takes to avoid as lawn and garden season hits full swing. • Not enough mulch: Mulch is ineffec- tive when spread too thin. The Virginia Co- operative Extension at Virginia Tech and Vir- ginia State University recommends applying mulch no less than two inches in depth. Any- thing less than that will prove ineffective at preventing weed growth and helping the soil retain moisture, and that means you will need to water more often. • Poorly located mulch: Mulch should not be placed too close to plant stems or tree trunks. When it is, tissue is so wet that it makes for a perfect environment for disease and in- sect infestation. • Failing to mulch to the drip line: The drip line of a tree refers to the outermost cir- cumference of the tree's canopy from which water drips onto the ground. The VCE recom- mends mulching to the drip line of a plant or tree, which ensures the plant or tree will get the most out of the mulch. Mulching to the drip line also minimizes competition from the grass, leading to stronger plants and trees. • Failing to weed before mulching: Weeds should be removed prior to mulching. If they're not, the mulch can provide the same growing environment for weeds that you're try- ing to create for your plants and trees. Mulching benefits a landscape in myri- ad ways, especially when homeowners avoid some common mulching mistakes. MULCH mistakes Avoiding common
