November is a great time to remulch your gardens.  Firstly, it will provide a protective ‘blanket’ for your plants’ root systems, limiting stressful temperature swings in the soil.  Secondly, the recent frosts have left most perennials in a fully dormant state, and they are ready to be cut back — this makes the actual spreading of mulch that much more efficient.  Thirdly, don’t we all have enough to do in the spring already without worrying about mulching?  We can get one thing checked off the list early, and the plants will benefit from the mulch all winter long.  Refer to the ‘Mulch’ tab in the navigation bar above to learn more.
