The spring season has finally arrived and so it’s time to start sprucing up your landscape by adding a fresh layer of mulch.  While this is beneficial to your plant material, the practice of adding too much mulch can be harmful.  The common term for this is Volcano Mulching; the piling up of mulch to the point where it looks like a volcano.
Volcano mulching hurts your plant material by rotting out the bark which is covered by the mulch.  This allows an area for diseases to enter.  Also, excess mulching promotes girdling roots.  This is where the roots of the tree or shrub grow in the mulch, and eventually grow around the trunk of the plant.  Over time the root will strangle the plant to the point of where the death is imminent.
