How much mulch to put in your flowerbed?

Hey, there it's Marvin Salcido with Salcido Lawn. It's cold outside. We've got a little bit of snow yesterday if you could call that eight snowflakes that hit my truck snow. It's cold and you might be wondering what do you do in December in Texas? Well, I'll tell you what a great thing to do right now. That is put mulch in your flowerbeds. Mulching in your flowerbeds is a great thing to do this time of year. It helps insulate the ground, protects the roots of your plants, and mulch also is a natural weed barrier and helps the weeds from popping up. We do get winter weeds here in Texas, and this helps to prevent the weeds from popping up. So, now is a perfect time to mulch your flowerbeds. You want to do a good layer of mulch, about two to three inches. You don't want to go more than that because then you'll start messing up the bottom of your plants and they can actually start rotting around the base of your plants, so you don't want to do that. You want about a good two to three-inch layer of mulch. It creates good insulation for your plants. So again, this is a double shredded hardwood mulch that we're putting down here.
