Re: question about wintering over/ now mulch
Hello donna,
You are asking questions that could fill a couple of articles with
illustrations. To best help you on this one may I suggest you pick up a
current issue of Fine Gardening. On page 40 they have an article on mulch
and photos of the various types generally used in gardens. Should answer all
of your questions better than I can here.
Cypress and peat moss look nothing alike so the photos should really
help. Two loads for $25? I'll take 4 loads today.....
