I've tried different things for mulching my plants. Last product we've used is pine bark mulch, the finer grind. I used cypress mulch until I read about the shortage of cypress trees as a result of this mulch. Also, DH bought from someone a mulch that I absolutely hate. It is nothing but wood chips, and rather large ones at that. That stuff will never break down! AND every time I work in one of the beds where it was applied, I always end up grabbing hold of a sharp end. We're gradually getting rid of that stuff. Pine needles here are very expensive but look great. I've heard of cocoa hulls, but haven't seen any at the garden centers here. We have a large yard, so anything over $2.50 a bag would bankrupt us! The natural area, of course, is mulched with leaves every fall, so that's not an issue.
Anyone have any other suggestions? BTW, I don't like those colored mulches at all.
