Eastern Red Cedar Mulch

[Mr. Plisken]

I have friends who are doing an extensive Eastern Red Cedar clearing project on their ranch. The tree service is shredding the trees and dumping the material in low places and in ravines. I understand that ERC makes a fine mulch and I can have all I want. My question is should I wait a while or can I immediatley apply as mulch? It's been sitting for a week. This will be used in an orchard and under some Cedar Elms that shade out any grass growth. Thanks.

ERC makes a great mulch and a great incesticide, however i would use light layers, the mulch is still breaking down.

 

[Mr. Plisken]

Light layers......3"-4"?
