Considerations
Tea tree mulch has a few drawbacks, including its strong aroma.
While some people find the fragrance pleasant and refreshing, others may find it overpowering or even unpleasant. The intensity of the aroma can also vary depending on the specific type of Tea tree mulch and the amount applied. For those who are sensitive to strong smells, Tea tree mulch may not be the best choice.
Additionally, it is more expensive than other types of mulch, and its dark colour may fade over time, requiring reapplication to maintain its aesthetic appeal.
How to Use Tea Tree Mulch
To apply Tea Tree mulch, follow these steps:
1. Preparation
Remove existing weeds and debris from the area where you intend to apply Tea tree mulch.
Till or loosen the soil to improve aeration and water penetration. If necessary, amend the soil with organic matter to enhance nutrient content.
2. Application
Spread the Tea tree mulch evenly over the prepared area, ensuring a consistent depth of 2-3 inches. Maintain a gap of 2-4 inches around trees and shrubs to prevent trunk rot.
3. Maintenance
Replenish the mulch layer as needed to maintain the desired depth. Water the newly applied Tea tree mulch thoroughly to help it settle and suppress dust.
Monitor the soil moisture level and adjust watering accordingly.
