Bark mulch applied to plant beds and around trees is one of the most effective methods of controlling weeds. It is also ideal in protecting your plant's delicate roots from excessive heat and drought in the summer and helps plants resist alternate freezing and thawing in the "ivinter. Hardwood bark is ideal for sloping terrain or in areas subject to flooding. Shredded hardwood holds well on fairly steep slopes. All types of bark mulch, notably pine and other softwoods, work well in normal landscape areas. Before applying mulch, remove any grass or weeds growing in the area to be mulched and lightly loosen the soil. Allow a minimum clearing of one foot around your plants and trees. Then layer on the mulch. Four to five inches of bark mulch stop most weeds, although a depth of four to six inches is ideal. Bark decomposes slowly. As it decom­ poses, the resulting humus enriches the top soil below the mulch. To maximize your weed control program, check the depth of the mulch annually, adding new mulch to maintain the proper depth for ef­ fective weed control. An added decorative touch can be achieved by using different kinds or types of bark over the mulched area. By changing from pine bark to shredded hard­ wood to nuggets or chunk bark, the texture of the covering produces a professionally land­ scaped effect. TV GUIDE HBPSm YOU I DECIDE All those channels.
