Q: How often should I mulch?

You should refresh your flower bed mulch once a year , ideally in early spring before weeds sprout, adding a 2-3 inch layer to replenish what decomposed over winter and maintain weed suppression and moisture retention. Don't remove old mulch; just add new on top, as it breaks down to feed soil, but avoid layers over 3-4 inches to prevent suffocating plants.
