Troubleshooting

Weeds are still growing through the mulch.

Ensure the mulch layer is at least 5-7 cm deep. Remove any existing weeds before applying the mulch.

The mulch is washing away.

Apply the mulch in a way that it is slightly recessed and compact it to prevent it from washing away during heavy rain.

Mulch is not retaining moisture.

Check the depth of the mulch; it may be too thin. Ensure the soil has been watered before mulching.
