1. KILL WEEDS
Spray all weeds with weed killer 1 to 2 weeks prior to mulching.
This allows weeds to completely die, making them much easier to
pull.
2. TRIM TREES AND BUSHES
Because of the debris produced, be sure to trim trees and bushes
before applying new mulch.
3. CLEAN OUT MULCH BEDS
Remove all dead leaves, weeds and trimmings with a rake.
4. CULTIVATE
Use a roto-tiller or hand cultivator to loosen any compacted soil or
mulch. This allows moisture and air to pass through the mulch
easier.
5. EDGE YOUR BEDS
Landscapes with clean edges enhance the appearance and give it a
professional look. Use an edging shovel or power edger to accomplish
this. Tip: Use your garden hose as a guide to create nice flowing
curves.
6. RAKE SMOOTH
Use a stiff rake, such as a mud rake, to smooth all surfaces to be
mulched. Otherwise, your mulch will look lumpy.
7. APPLY A PRE-EMERGENT
This is the time to prevent weed seeds. Apply the pre-emergent
before mulching. A second application later further ensures
protection from weed seeds.
8. IT'S TIME TO MULCH
Using your hands or a rake, apply new mulch over the cultivated
mulch or soil. Spread evenly to 2-inches thick, more or less,
depending on budget and taste. When complete, water to moisturize
mulch and settle it into place.
9. MULCH MAINTENANCE
After a month or so, check the mulch for compaction. If it's
compacted, use a garden claw or cultivator to loosen it. This allows
water and air to pass, which helps prevent the growth of fungus and
restores appearance.
10. FUNGUS
If present, remove it and the surrounding mulch. Rake existing mulch
to cover the area. Then water thoroughly. Fungus is a sure sign that
your mulch has compacted and your beds have dehydrated; cultivation
and watering may be necessary.
