We recommendapplyingLGM Cedar Barka foot wide to prevent weeds and retain moisture.The cedar bark will help insulate the roots and prevents root competition.Cedar mulch has insect repellant qualitiesbecause it contains natural cedar oil which can deter termites and certain types of ants.If mulch is applied all the way to the tree trunk it will cause the trunk to rot, make sure that there is about an inch of spacing between the tree trunk and the mulch.

We also recommend growing Yarrow under fruit trees, it is said to enhance fruit production. Therootsmine the subsoil for potassium,phosphorus, calcium, copper, and magnesium making it a nutrient rich mulch.
