How to mulch around a tree?


Question:

Answers:
Use a shredded hardwood mulch and keep at 2 inches deep- no more, no less (to keep weeds down, moisture in, and prevent fungus). Keep the mulch away from the base of the trunk of the tree a few inches also to prevent fungus growth. Smooth out and water in!

Why do you need to? Well, if you need to just buy however much mulch to cover the area and pour it out and level it.
