You’ve heard everyone talk about mulching. My husband has grown tired of the topic because he gets to move the free piles left by the tree companies with his tractor. The important benefits of mulching are: weed suppression, it keeps the soil temperatures cooler in the hot weather, it conserves water in the ground, and it protects the drip irrigation lines from UV rays from the sun. So, make friends with the local tree service companies or spend a little money at your local landscape materials company. Just do it!
