Preparing shrubs for winter with mulch and deep watering
Extension agent John K Wells advises gardeners to water deeply before winter, apply organic or complete fertilizer to root zones, and use leaf mulch 2 to 4 inches thick. For large trees drill root-zone holes, fill with fertilizer, and water well. Leaf mulch protects roots and preserves moisture, but remove in spring.
