Q: Is it cheaper to buy mulch in bags or in bulk?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-mulch-delivery-and-install-cost.htm">Mulch costs</a> an average of <b>$15 to $80 per yard</b>, depending on the type you choose and whether you have it delivered and installed by a pro. Generally, it&rsquo;s cheaper to buy mulch in bulk and have it delivered to your home. However, bags are the more cost-effective choice if you only have a small area to mulch.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to mulch?

• <div><p>Mid to late spring is the best time of year to mulch. If you do it too early in the spring, the mulch could slow down the warming process of the soil and affect how well plants grow. By mid to late spring the temperatures are usually steadying, making it an ideal time to spread mulch.</p></div>

Q: Why use mulch?

• <div><p>You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay. </p></div>

Q: How much mulch do you need to prevent weeds?

• <div><p>You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you&rsquo;re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.</p></div>

Q: Can you lay pea gravel directly on dirt?

• <div><p>Yes, you can lay pea gravel directly on the dirt. First, dig a trench 2 to 6 inches deep the length and width of the area you want to cover. Plants and weeds will eventually grow through the pea gravel if you don&rsquo;t lay down landscaping cloth.</p></div>
