Pro's and Con's
Like stone, there are many reasons to choose mulch,
but there are also a couple of reasons to pass mulch
by. Here's why I'd choose mulch:
- It's cost effective-why spend more than you have
to?
- It's readily available-easy to find and easy to bring
back home
- Forms an effective weed barrier
- Eco-Friendly-waste wood and tree trimmings are
used to make mulch, waste not want not
- Holds moisture well
Here are some reasons why I would stay away from
mulch:
- Not permanent-eventually mulch rots away and
has to be redone
- Takes some time after installation to settle and
look like it should
- Some weeds can grow in mulch
