I found Fairmount Park gives out free mulch but it's about a 20 minute ride out from South Philly to 3850 Ford Ave (Fairmount Park). https://www.thegreencities.com/philly/where-to-get-free-compost-mulch/

Irrigation bag might be worth a stop at Lowe's or Home Depot. A green zippered bag you fill with water to self-water the tree. This also keep dog urine directly off the base as it tries to root. Mine also gets a yearly Jobe tree spike. (Tree is 25+ y.o. now, 2 stories high, a beauty!)

Thank you!! That’s a tally in the side of risking my life (jk but also not) driving over to Columbus.
