How we mulch a bed

  • WeedWeeds pulled by hand, roots and all. Mulching over weeds only hides them for a few weeks.
  • EdgeA clean cut line between the bed and the lawn so the mulch stays put.
  • LayTwo to three inches deep, the depth UF/IFAS recommends for holding moisture and blocking weeds.
  • Pull backA gap around every trunk and along the foundation. Mulch piled against bark rots it.

Pine bark, pine straw or something else

Pine bark nuggets last longest and hold their color. Pine straw is lighter, stays on slopes better, and is the classic look on a lot of older Mount Dora lots.

We’ll tell you which suits each bed, and match what’s already there if you like it.

Why it matters under the watering rules

Mount Dora is under a water shortage order that limits irrigation to one day a week. A proper layer of mulch keeps bed soil from drying out between waterings, which makes it the cheapest drought protection your plants can get.

When to mulch

Late winter and early spring are the usual times: after the oaks drop their leaves and before the summer heat. Pine straw breaks down faster and usually needs a top-up in the fall.
