Mulch Volcanoes Kill Trees!
The insistence of the landscape industry to over mulch trees boggles my mind. Mulch volcanoes run rampant in wealthy, NJ towns. Mounding mulch against the trunk of a tree, no matter how old or young the tree may be, will KILL the tree. Mulch in a doughnut shape around the tree, 3″ thick, keeping the mulch away from the base of the tree.

Make copies and give it to your neighbors!
