Doesn't really matter, if it needs it, do it. If existing mulch has broken
down and soil is showing do it then. Probably best too, to do it before heat
of summer so as you get good use out of it in regards to keeping evaporation
down.
Give the garden a good water, apply mulch, then water mulch is the best way
too.

Cheers
Andrew
