From our friends at Mississippi State University.

Mulching is likely on your spring and fall gardening tasks list each year. But you may not know that there is a right and wrong way to apply mulch.

Mulch is important to the health of your landscape. When it is applied properly it helps hold moisture in the soil, prevents w**d growth, regulates soil temperature, and protects the trunks of trees and shrubs from lawn equipment.

But when mulch is applied incorrectly, it can harm your plants. A common example of harmful mulch application is the mulch volcanoes you see around trees.

When applying mulch around trees and shrubs in the lawn, don’t mound it up around the trunk. You want it to be 3 to 4 inches deep and extend from the trunk 3 to 6 feet around the entire tree. Don’t allow the mulch to touch the trunk. Pull the mulch 2 to 3 inches away from the trunk to prevent problems, including disease and rodent damage.
