Walking through the local cemetery, one visitor noticed something that’s way too common—mulch piled high around tree trunks, also known as mulch volcanoes. This practice actually suffocates trees, traps moisture against the bark, and can lead to rot or even death. What’s wild is that many landscapers still do this, even though it wastes money and ends up costing more to fix later. Instead, planting native plants or grasses around trees helps the soil, saves water, and attracts pollinators. Have you seen mulch volcanoes in your neighborhood? What’s your take on the best way to care for our trees? #Home #TreeCare #Gardening
