Does mulch attract termites?

• <div><p>No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/proactive-tips-avoid-termite-damage-your-home.htm">resist termites</a> because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.</p></div>

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: Is it better to buy topsoil in bulk or bag?

• <div><p>Buying topsoil in bulk or a bag depends on how much area you&rsquo;re trying to cover. Even if it goes on sale, bagged topsoil isn&rsquo;t as cheap as buying it in bulk, but transporting bulk topsoil can become cumbersome if you don&rsquo;t have the proper truck. If you can find an easy delivery option and have the space to store a large amount of topsoil, buying in bulk will give you more bang for your buck.</p></div>

Q: Can you use too little mulch?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.</p></div>

Q: How do I measure how much compost to use?

• <div><p>Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.</p></div>
