Answer 1

Bark is applied to the base of trees and shrubs and even in flower beads as a mulch to control weeds and grass, not as a fertilizer. Bark will break down over time, usually years, and become organic fertilizer, but that is generally not why it is used. If used in enough depth, bark is an excellent mulch, it is all organic, it is attractive, and breaks down slowly to form humus.

Answer 3

It is placed on top of the soil around the plants to hold in the moisture in the ground only. The moisture in held in the soil because the bark in covering it. Make sense?

That is all it does..... well besides looking nice too!

Yes, once a year is enough.
