We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In the UC Davis area, community and research gardens benefit greatly from incorporating bulk compost into the native San Joaquin Clay before planting each season. Tilling in 3 to 4 inches of rich compost improves aeration and encourages beneficial microbial activity that clay soils naturally suppress. MulchMound.com can deliver large compost quantities ideal for multi-plot community gardens, helping student and faculty growers maximize yields without the labor of repeated small-batch store purchases.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In the UC Davis area, pathways between community garden plots benefit from a 3-inch layer of wood chip mulch that stays stable through both winter rain and summer foot traffic. Mulched pathways prevent the compaction and mud that bare clay paths develop after irrigation or rain, keeping garden access clean and dry year-round. MulchMound.com bulk deliveries can supply enough material to cover an entire community garden path network in a single order, saving coordinators multiple trips.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

UC Davis area gardeners growing cool-season crops should take advantage of the window between the last frost around February 25 and spring warming by applying a fresh layer of straw mulch over newly seeded beds. Straw holds soil temperature steady during unpredictable late-winter temperature swings and breaks down into the clay soil over the following months, adding a small but useful dose of organic matter. MulchMound.com can deliver straw and other organic mulches to community and research plots near Davis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

How much compost should a UC Davis community garden plot receive each season to improve clay soil?

Most guidelines recommend incorporating 3 to 4 inches of compost into the top 6 inches of clay soil each season for the first 2 to 3 years of a new plot. After the initial improvement period, an annual 1 to 2-inch topdressing maintains the organic matter level. Ordering bulk compost from MulchMound.com is the most cost-effective way to supply multiple plots at once.

Answer

What is the best way to prevent compaction in a UC Davis research garden with high foot traffic?

Establishing permanent raised or defined bed areas with clearly mulched walkways between them is the most effective long-term solution. Keeping foot traffic confined to designated paths with 3 to 4 inches of wood chip or gravel mulch prevents compaction in the planting zones. Regularly aerating clay beds and topdressing with compost also helps maintain soil structure under heavy use.

Answer

Can bulk topsoil be blended with compost before delivery for UC Davis garden projects?

Yes, MulchMound.com offers blended topsoil and compost mixes that arrive ready to use, saving the labor of manually mixing separate material loads on site. A standard blend of 70 percent topsoil and 30 percent compost works well for filling raised beds or amending large in-ground planting areas in the UC Davis area, providing good drainage and fertility from the start.
