Mulch Installation in Raleigh: good to know
Mulch is what keeps beds from drying out between watering days, which matters under the watering rules in Raleigh.
What are the lawn watering rules in Raleigh?
Raleigh Water currently has no mandatory watering days. Its standing guidance is to irrigate no more than one inch per week and never onto pavement. When a drought stage is declared the rules tighten quickly, so check the current stage before setting an irrigation schedule. Source: Raleigh Water: Conservation and Efficiency.
NC State Extension recommends 2 to 3 inches of organic mulch, kept about 6 inches back from trunks and renewed as needed to hold that depth. Source: NC State Extension Gardener Handbook: Woody Ornamentals.
