Leitchfield Weather and Soil Conditions for Mulch
Leitchfield receives about 53 inches of rain per year, so drainage planning is important. The roughly 87 wet days mean you should schedule the delivery for a dry stretch when the ground is firm. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
About 4 inches of snow fall annually, and plowing can disturb loose mulch if applied in late fall. Soils mapped in the Leitchfield area are commonly well drained, which helps excess water move through the mulch layer. The ground around Leitchfield takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually enough.
