Black mulch

Question

I live in southern ontario canada. This is the first year I bought black mulch for my garden and I enjoyed the fact that it didn’t have near the weeds this summer. Should I leave it on the beds thru the winter?

Answer 1

It wouldn't hurt anything. You can leave it, but you may find that some of your mulch will "disappear", and that you may have to even add a bag once a season. Here is an article for maintaining mulch: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/mulch/benefits-of-using-mulch.htm
