Implement Proper Mulching and Edging

What happens here

Instead of using weed fabric, the presenter advises allowing the mulch to be in direct contact with the soil. This promotes healthy soil structure and allows for proper nutrient exchange. To prevent weeds, a pre-emergent herbicide should be applied directly to the mulch. This chemical treatment suppresses the germination of new weed seeds. Additionally, the video suggests avoiding decorative stones around the mulch bed, as grass can easily creep between them and establish itself within the mulch. A clean, trenched edge around the mulch bed is recommended to create a clear barrier against invading grass.

Goal: Properly prepare and maintain a mulched tree bed
