25
How else can you get entrance control?
w/ cloth pre emergence or post emergence
26
Rule of thumb for mulch-
2-4'' in depth, 4'' away from tree. | Not applied due to look vs. functionality
27
Before you mulch over turf what can you put down.
pre-emergence, and can use cardboard as a weed barrier around new planted tree.
28
Rules for mulching(5)
1. supplement at least once a year in the spring, 2x is best. 2. Re-establish edges of bed. 3. put down pre-emergence(in spring) 4. .Use newspaper or cardboard as weed barriers. 5. Place mulch around plant carefully to keep moisture off plant.(hand spread)
29
Mulching helps _____ break down? and prevents______
organic matter, erosion.
30

2x a year(or more), late spring and late summer
33
How do you re establish the edge? what can you use?
pull mulch back, edge. return mulch | weed eater.
34
5 ways to minimize weed pressure w/ example of each?
1. Site assessment- eliminate weed before prep 2. Choice of plant material(upright- easier to control)(spread- more competition) 3. Species selection- Tolerance to herbicides-(pre emergence) 4. Site prep and establishment-(non-selective herbicides, fumigation, landscape fabrics. 5. Mulches and herbicide choices.
