Mulch. After completion of all planting, all irrigated non-turf areas shall be covered with a minimum four-inch layer of mulch to retain water, inhibit weed growth, and moderate soil temperature.
Mulch. The mulch material shall be compost meeting the requirements below, hardwood barks, shavings or chips; or inorganic mulch materials as approved by the Engineer; or hydraulically applied wood fiber mulch or bonded fiber matrix (BFM) for the establishment of turf material. All material shall be suitable for plant growth. The organic matter content of the prepared soil layer after mixing shall be a minimum of 2.5%, a maximum of 10%, in accordance with FM 1-T- 267 and have a pH value of 4.5 or greater and less than or equal to 8.5 as determined in accordance with FM 5-550. The organic matter content shall be created using any of the following materials. Prepared soil layer materials may be obtained from either, or a combination of, the following sources:
Mulch. Using mulch in your garden plot has many benefits. As organic mulches break down, they add valuable nutrients to your soil. You will need less fertilizer. They also help conserve water.
a) Organic mulches, such as compost, leaves, straw, and shredded bark are highly recommended to conserve water and add nutrients to the soil.
b) Non-biodegradable mulches, such as stone, carpet and artificial turf, are prohibited. Plastic and porous weed blocker covers are permitted, but need to be secured to the ground to prevent them from blowing away.
c) Composting plant materials is an excellent way to reduce trash and conserve nutrients. Do not compost food scraps (such as meat, oils, or fat), as these attract animals.
d) Avoid fresh manure which may contain weed seeds, smells bad, and may have sanitary issues that could affect neighboring plots

Mulch. Mulch shall be applied to seeded areas either at the time of seeding or within twenty-four hours after seeding. The mulch shall be evenly distributed over the seeded areas at the specified rate.
Mulch. Only pine bark, pine straw and organic recycled mulch are allowed in the community. Small river rock in a neutral color is allowed in the mulched area of the entryway.
Mulch. ‘Mulch’ means a material used for landscaping, soil amendment or erosion control that results from the mechanical breakdown (chipping and/or grinding) of materials, including, but not limited to, Green Waste, yard trimmings, and wood byproducts.
Mulch. All prepared shrub beds must include a minimum of 4” depth mulch to effectively inhibit weed growth, retain soil moisture, moderate soil temperature and protect plant roots during the winter months. To keep the weeds down, it is a minimum requirement to sod the rear yard. All turf should be drought-tolerant fine fescue blends. It is recommended that all turf grass purchased be Water Star certified. Synthetic grass may be permitted but samples and a proposed landscape plan must be submitted to the DRC for approval prior to implementation.
Mulch. 1. Install mulch for weed control at each blackberry and honeysuckle. Install a minimum dimension of 36 inches diameter, 4 inches thick of mulch at each tree. Maintain a 4 inch radius free of mulch around root crown of trees.
2. Install a minimum dimension of 18 inches diameter, 4 inches thick of mulch at each blackberry and honeysuckle. Maintain a 2 inch radius free of mulch around root crowns of blackberry and honeysuckle.
Mulch. 2.12.1 After the plants have been watered, backfilled and allowed to settle for twenty-four hours and saucers constructed, the mulch shall be applied.
2.12.2 Trees shall be mulched with 3" deep layer of bark mulch, all within the saucer.
2.12.3 Shrubs and ground covers shall be bedded by creating a bed outline 6" outside the drip line of the shrub. The outline shall be continuously cleaned out with a spade, cut perpendicular to the lawn level. The grass within this bed outline shall be removed at least 4" deep to prevent grass growth. Then the bed shall be mulched with 3" deep layer of bark mulch. The saucers will be maintained as specified, within the plant beds.
