Good Mulch

[dria]

I must have some super plants then. I put down mulch and this plant keeps coming back. It has spread too and grows so fast. It has a thin stalk and is a wide leafy looking plant but I don't know how to get rid of it.

pine bark mulch is the best all around mulch i've seen - its like "chips" instead of long light pieces and is really easy to top off later and is not colored and expensive like that dyed crap - and it makes a better barrier -


i've sold it to all my mulch customers lately and they ALL love it

* pine bark can be misleading on the package

*not the big chunks - check the label (bark might mean real bark)

*just the chips about the size of a quarter or smaller- some places name it differently so check before paying -

weed prevention included probably means preen - not bad but the mulch is probably not great

put down good mulch first and then buy separate preen granuals if desired and water it in or use rain
