To Mulch, or not to Mulch?

The cardboard is a good idea but the most important thing you need is a bucket of worms they will do all the work of decompaction and let the nutrient down to the roots.:001_cool:

 

As far as the worms go, if you use fresh tree chips with leafy matter as well, within 6 months to a year, you should not find any ground under that area that does not have worms.

 

If you build it, they will come. :001_smile:

 

Cardboard is a proven and inexpensive barrier. I prefer it to the weed mat. To suppress grasses without a barrier requires at least 8" of mulch. This could be too much for a veteran tree.

Mick is still at eastwoods not retired far from it. spent time with him last week and doing a crane job for me next week.

 

Has done a deal for the company but would not be eastwoods without him there.

 

Lee I knew you would, know you do a lot of this your self.
