Can I Put Rubber Mulch Around My Trees?
Q: Is it ok to put rubber mulch around the base of my trees?
A: I do not recommend using rubber mulch. Even though it does an adequate job preventing weeds, the stuff is hard to keep clean and it does not naturally decompose and feed the soil like organic mulch would.
