FragileWarrior expounded:


Bringing anything up around the trunk is bad, however. This new trend of
volcano mulching is going to end up bringing diseases and insects to
healthy trees, too.

New trend? It's been around for years, and thankfully seems to be
disappearing around here. I don't know anyone who does it anymore.
