Mulch lowers the temperature of the soil, slows evaporation, and can protect your plants by acting as a weed barrier. As a rule of thumb, it\u2019s best to add a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch around plants where you can see bare soil. Be sure to avoid putting the mulch too close to plant stems and tree trunks, as this can cause moisture build-up and rot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Mow Too Low<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s critical to mow your lawn to the correct height.
