John Fitzgerald+FollowWhy Are Trees Getting Buried Alive?Ever noticed those giant piles of mulch around trees in new neighborhoods? Turns out, it’s a big no-no called a 'mulch volcano,' and arborists are losing it over how common it is. Burying the root flare can literally choke the tree, wasting tons of money and killing trees way too soon. Pro tip: mulch should look like a donut, not a volcano! Let’s save our trees (and our wallets) with smarter landscaping. #TreeCare #GardeningFails #LandscapingTips #Home20Share
phillipsbrian+FollowMulch Volcanoes Are Killing Trees?!Ever heard of 'mulch volcanoes'? Turns out, piling mulch up around your trees like a volcano is a big no-no. A Redditor shared a pic of their new landscaping, only to be warned by the internet that this trend can actually rot your trees and attract pests. Even pros get it wrong! If you want healthy trees (and to save cash), keep mulch away from the trunk and show off that root flare. Pro tip: Native plants are way easier and better for the planet! #GardeningFails #LandscapingTips #HomeownerHacks #Home40Share
