2 Easy Steps for Adding Weed Preventer Before Applying Fresh Mulch
Hello EMB community! Jaymz with Second Mile Landscaping and Lawn Care here! As you may know, I'm glad to be a part of the User Advisory Group and share tips with fellow industry pros to help each other grow our businesses. Today, I want to share my process of preventing weeds on mulch beds.
If you want to prevent weeds on mulch, you should apply a weed preventer, such as Preen, after cleaning and preparing the beds and before laying the mulch. Then, make sure to water the beds to activate the weed preventer. I use the Ryobi Battery-Powered Backpack Sprayer for this job, but any other trusted sprayer will do the work.
Watch the full video to see the process I have learned along these years, which has given me great results. Don't forget to spread the word about this trick with your colleagues so we can all grow the ECHO Means Business community.
