It has multiple benefits, primarily feeding the soil. But it also suppresses weeds, builds your soil’s drought and flood defences and protects plants’ root growth. It’s also deeply satisfying, as gardening jobs go.</p><p class="dcr-11uwh1i">I suspect the mystery sneaks in because people start to question if they’re doing it right. Are they mulching at the right time? Are they mulching in the right places? Are they mulching with the right mulch?</p><p class="dcr-11uwh1i">Some gardeners I respect would, sensibly, answer that the best time to mulch is when you think about it. I’ve been known to mulch in the height of summer, where there’s hardly any bare soil to cover with the stuff, in the hope that some good cool compost will feed my flowering plants and help stave off drought during a heatwave. But I’m more likely to do it around now, once I’ve lifted and divided those plants that have become too big for their boots, planted my bulbs and any 9cm hardy perennials I hope to see grow in the spring, and I’m unlikely to disturb the ground again for months.</p><aside data-spacefinder-role="inline" class="dcr-nyoej5"><svg viewBox="0 0 22 14" style="fill:var(--pullquote-icon);" class="dcr-scql1j"><path d="M5.255 0h4.75c-.572 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941H0C.792 9.104 2.44 4.53 5.255 0Zm11.061 0H21c-.506 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941h-8.686c.902-4.837 2.485-9.411 5.3-13.941Z"></path></svg><blockquote class="dcr-zzndwp">Mulch has multiple benefits, primarily feeding soil.

In essence, you want to aim for a time when soil is relatively clear of growth and nothing’s going to pop through.</p><p class="dcr-11uwh1i">I mentioned well-rotted manure, but everyone has different preferences of what they mulch. If I’ve had a good compost year, I’ll use the stuff I’ve made from my kitchen scraps, garden waste and delivery boxes. If I’ve lots of new plants in the ground, I’ll splurge on some <a href="https://www.dalefootcomposts.co.uk/products/lakeland-gold.p.aspx" data-link-name="in body link">Lakeland Gold,</a> which is particularly good at softening the sticky London clay beneath my boots. I know of gardeners who mulch with gravel. But if you’re at the beginning of your mulching journey, your plant-based mulches include leaf mould (entry-level mulch; you could essentially let the surrounding trees do it for you); well-rotted garden manure (particularly good for hungry plants such as roses); garden compost (great because it’s right there), and bark or woodchips, which are particularly good for improving drainage and water retention.</p><figure data-spacefinder-role="inline" data-spacefinder-type="model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.NewsletterSignupBlockElement" class=" dcr-173mewl"><a data-ignore="global-link-styling" href="#EmailSignup-skip-link-8" class="dcr-jzxpee">skip past newsletter promotion</a><aside aria-label="newsletter promotion" class="dcr-av5vqf"><div class="dcr-10et71f"><p class="dcr-1sbse14">Sign up to <span>Inside Saturday</span></p><div class="dcr-9ypm66"><div class="dcr-ibdtyj"><div class="dcr-1hwoqtr"><svg viewBox="-3 -3 30 30" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M18.364 2H5.636v5.68H3.43L2 9.29l9.048 7.504h1.904L22 9.289 20.571 7.68h-2.207zm-1.819 5.68v-.946h-9.09v.946zm0-3.787h-9.09v.947h9.09zM2 20.58v-8.994l9.048 6.627h1.904L22 11.586v8.994L20.571 22H3.43zM7.455 9.574h9.09v.947h-9.09z"></path></svg></div><span class="dcr-tx2qx">Free weekly newsletter</span></div></div></div><p class="dcr-1xjndtj">The only way to get a look behind the scenes of the Saturday magazine.
