April is MulchMonth.

What happens here

Once the wheelbarrows reach the garden beds, workers carefully tip them to deposit the mulch directly into the designated areas. While the video doesn't explicitly show the spreading action, the final shots of the mulched beds (0:06-0:20) indicate that the mulch is then evenly distributed. The goal is to create a consistent layer, typically 2-4 inches deep, around plants and shrubs, ensuring it doesn't pile up against stems or tree trunks, which can cause rot or pest issues.

Goal: Create an even, protective layer of mulch in all designated garden beds
