Mulch straight to dirt

What happens here

This video provides a public service announcement (PSA) about common mistakes in mulching around trees and offers effective solutions. It explains why placing weed barrier fabric under mulch is counterproductive, demonstrating how mulch decomposes into soil on top of the fabric, allowing weeds to grow. The video then recommends allowing mulch to make direct contact with the soil, applying a pre-emergent herbicide, and utilizing trench edging to prevent weed and grass encroachment for healthier trees and a neater landscape.
