What Kind of Mulch Is Good to Put Around Fruit Trees?
Mulch is essential in growing fruit trees. It reduces the growth of weeds that steal the minerals in the soil needed by fruit trees to grow and bear fruit. Mulch also helps maintain moisture in the soil; fruit trees protected with mulch will not easily dry out in the summer months. Mulch can control erosion, and, when it decomposes, it becomes a great fertilizer. Mulch comes in different kinds, most of which are used for fruit-bearing trees.
