Re: advice needed on mulch for paths

Jude,

I don't know why you'd object to cedar. It's a fairly decent insect deterrent. But that's neither here nor there. One way to keep the weeds down is to lay plastic , pin it down and then cover it with chips or salt hay.

Hi all;

Here in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, where the rain hasn't stopped yet
this season, we have an ongoing problem with the garden paths being overgrown
with weeds. It is a constant battle to "persuade" gardeners to weed their
paths as well as their beds. Any suggestions for an effective mulch would be
appreciated. Would wood chips be OK, as long as they're not cedar? Cheers,

Jude Carson
