The answer to 'mulch bare spots' is to apply a 2-4 inch layer of organic mulch to the bare areas in your landscape. Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve the overall appearance of your yard. Common causes of bare spots include heavy foot traffic, poor soil conditions, and drought.
For best results, start by clearing the area of any debris or dead plants. Then, spread a high-quality mulch like wood chips, bark, or shredded leaves evenly over the bare soil. Be sure to keep the mulch a few inches away from the base of plants to prevent rot. Maintain the mulch layer by replenishing it as needed, typically every 1-2 years.
