As the leaves fall and temperatures drop, your garden is quietly preparing for winter. November is the perfect time to apply mulch before the deep freeze sets in, but after most of your clean-up is done.
A fresh layer of mulch insulates the soil, protects plant roots from harsh temperature swings, and helps retain valuable moisture. If you want to improve your soil while protecting it, you’ll want to use a soil improving mulch.
Soil improving mulch is an organic coarse material designed not only to shield your garden but also to feed and enrich the soil as it breaks down, adding long-term value to your garden.
Key benefits:
Proper application makes all the difference. Here’s how to do it right:
Clean up beds: Remove leaves, weeds, and debris.
Loosen soil: A light raking or fork helps oxygenate the top layer.
Apply mulch evenly: Spread 5–7 cm (2–3 inches) of mulch around plants, keeping it an inch away from stems.
Water lightly: Helps settle the mulch and encourage microbial activity.
By taking an hour or two to mulch now, you’re investing in healthier, richer soil for next year’s growing season. When spring arrives, you’ll find:
✅Softer, more nutrient-rich soil
✅Fewer weeds to tackle
✅Plants that wake up stronger and earlier
That means less work and better growth all thanks to a simple November habit.
