How to Prevent Weeds in Fresh Mulch

Hey there guys, and today I wanted to show you how to prevent weeds in fresh mulch, using an example of where the mulching was pretty thin. As you can see, sometimes, I'll do a pre-emergent underneath the mulch to keep the weeds from popping up.

However, if you have greener mulch, getting it earlier in the season can mean there are still seeds in it, including weeds. In this case, what I do is put down a pre-emergent on top of the mulch.

This keeps everything good and ensures you don't have to be weeding too much throughout the year.
