Step 5Place your mulch around your plants.
You may ask - Why put down mulch? The reason is to keep moisture in and also it keeps the extreme heat (of Arizona) off of the roots.
Make sure you don't use manure because it will kill your plants in short order. Put Manure down at the end of the harvest season so it can have more time to rot and will be ready for the following spring. Then you can put your plants in it.
You want a nice thick layer of mulch I have about 3-4 inches deep. It is really working well for my plants.
I bought a 3 cubic ft bag Nature's Way Composted Mulch from Home Depot for about $4.20
It was perfect for my area. You may need to plan accordingly to your area.
