Volume = area × depth। 30 sq m at 7 cm: 2.1 m³। Coconut coir: ₹500-1,000/bag। Wood chips: ₹200-500/bag। Dried leaves: free! Indian gardens: neem leaves as natural pesticide mulch।
Types
Coconut coir: excellent moisture retention। Rice husk: cheap, available। Dried leaves: free natural mulch।
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
The #1 mulching mistake: "volcano mulching" — piling mulch high around tree trunks. This traps moisture against the bark, causes rot, and can kill the tree. Keep a 3-inch gap between mulch and any trunk or stem.
