My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

mulch and seedling question

19 years ago

Ok I planted out a lot of the little seedlings recently. But here is my question. Will it hurt the seedlings if the mulch coveres them once I plant them in the ground. I just want to make sure that nothing kills these babies off before their time.

So how do you mulch the babies? Thanks
