Mulch For Your Garden - Northern Illinois

Tired of walking in the dirt?  Add mulch to your garden area work and walk around all you want. No need to mow the grass in tight spaces. Mulch is the best solution for your garden area.

One other reason we apply mulch is to control and kill weeds.

A 1- to 2-inch layer of fine mulch should be sufficient, while a coarser material should be 3 to 4 inches deep. Too much of either type can suffocate your plants. In areas where you simply want to keep anything from growing, you can lay it on as thick as you like.

Coverage will vary greatly based on what type of mulch you use and how deep it is.
​​
Mulch that's too deep will stimulate root growth in the mulch layer rather than in the ground. The resulting shallow root system is susceptible to cold and drought damage.
