🔗 Related Tools:

Mulch is a protective layer of material (organic or inorganic) spread over soil to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and control weeds.

It conserves soil moisture, prevents erosion, adds nutrients (if organic), and suppresses weeds.

By multiplying the area to be covered by the desired mulch depth, then converting to cubic units.

Typically 2–3 inches; too little won’t protect the soil, while too much can suffocate plant roots.
