In many cases, you do not need to remove old mulch as it will naturally decompose into the soil. You may want to remove old mulch if the layer is too thick (more than 4 inches). If you choose not to remove old mulch, remember to loosen up your old mulch to improve drainage and airflow before applying a new layer.
Generally, you should add fresh mulch to your landscape or garden once a year.
No, moldy mulch does not harm plants. Mold spores are naturally present in mulches and thrive under moist conditions inside bags. Mold and fungus are natural components in healthy mulch, and can contribute to a thriving garden.
