Putting Newly Shredded Tree Mulch on FlowersIt's not so much a function of time, but more a function of conditions. The shredded wood needs to decompose before you put it on other plants. That may take anywhere from a few weeks to many months, depending on conditions. The wood needs to be composted, making sure to add plenty of nitrogen material while you turn it regularly and keep it moist. Composted wood should turn black and get quite warm.

Answer

i believe you're asking about spreading tree mulch as ground cover and prevention of weeds. a few days to let the mulch dry a little should be enough, you don't have to wait until it composts completely as proposed in the answer above
