Mulch

Hi all,

I have some (actually lots) of pine bark nuggets left over from a flower bed
I've built.  I was wondering if the pine bark would work as mulch for the
sqft garden - or would it be allright to use with some vegetables and not
others, etc. - or even as a mulch between the beds themselves.

Thanks in advance,
Linda
USDA Zone 5/NW Missouri
