Thanks for the Show Guys !, I learn something new each week.

You should wait until the ground is completely frozen before mulching any plants. Mulching too early will be more harmful than not mulching at all.

Hi Jim - I live in Chelmsford & last night (10/17) we had our first frost. Can I start to mulch specimens in my garden, or should I wait a couple of weeks. I usually mulch heuchera (seems to do better when I do), gaura, cocosmia, and of course my roses. Thanks!

lots of usefull info from your show !

Unless the plant is overdue for transplanting, early spring would be a better time. The increase volume of soil will provide substantially higher levels of moisture that would not be utilized during the winter season.
