What I Didn't Know About Mulch: Much!

What I Didn't Know About Mulch:
Please DO NOT use the "hairy" shredded bark. It is very prone to everything from exhaust pipe "clinkers" to cigarettes & we might end up doing lots of run to put out smoldering spots. I would recommend a larger "chip" bark like ¾ inch or larger. Any size will be better than the shredded, so use what you think is best for the situation. Ideally would be to lay down heavy contractor cloth to help keep the weeds down.
