You should avoid mulching when the soil is frozen and should feed the plants prior to applying this protective later. During the spring season, you should wait the soil to warm up so that cold wet soil does not cause seeds to decay.

You should use the right type of mulch depending on the type of plants you have in your garden. Organic mulch gets integrated into soil and would need periodic renewal, whereas inorganic mulches will be required to replace only in next season. It is always better to take advice of a tree service expert to decide on the type of mulch to use.

Always avoid applying mulch directly near the trees or plants, as they can cause collar rot and kill the plant by mulches decomposition process.  You should also avoid applying live green mulch and thick layers, as it can restrict water and oxygen to the plants.
