Spring is here , but before you put on your gardening gloves , the Moorestown Tree Planting and Preservation Committee would like to remind residents of good mulching practices around trees .  
   Mulch should never be piled up against the tree trunk . Mulching in a ' ' volcano shape can make the tree more susceptible to fungus , insects , and rodents . It can cause root girdling which can weaken the stability of the tree . Instead mulch in a donut shape . Keep mulch 6 inches from the trunk and mulch out as far as the branches extend above . Keep the mulch 2 - 4 thick . Each spring , break up old mulch and add new to maintain a 2 - 4 layer .  
   If your property is maintained by a landscaping/lawn service , please share this reminder with them .  
   Properly applied mulch provides these benefits: 
   Prevents soil compaction 
   Retains water in the soil for tree roots
   Keeps lawn equipment from damaging the trunk Moderates temperature 
   Reduces competing vegetation 
   Provides nutrients to the tree as it breaks down
   Think of the mulch as a life preserver for your trees . Don ' t choke them by piling up mulch against the trunk of the trees .
