You know what would really make your trees happy right now? Applying a nice 2-4 inch deep layer of mulch under the entire canopy. Mulch helps hold moisture in the soil and keeps roots cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Just be sure to keep the mulch away from the trunk. Leave at least a few inches between the trunk and the mulch. You can learn more about mulching and other fall gardening tasks at our free presentation, Fall is for Gardening, tonight, at the Conway branch of the Faulkner County Library, September 17, at 5:30 pm.
