Mulch

[Queenie]

I really need to get some more mulch for my flower beds but isn't the mulch that you buy at the store treated with all kinds of chemicals? Is there a mulch out there that is natural that will still work as well?

I'm sure there is. I think I remember seeing natural mulch. I don't know much about it though. I remember it being more expensive. We buy the mulch by the truck load and I know it is treated with something.

I've never heard that commercial mulch is sprayed with anything that could cause any problems.

Take a look at pine straw.... It comes in bales and most bugs don't like it.
Benefits being it does not blow away like regular mulch and doesn't decay like shredded wood.
