What type of mulch should I use in my garden?
Mulch is a very personal preference. I urge you to be careful with the mulch that you select, to ensure that it's not coming from a species of trees that's endangered or that is at risk. Some of the mulch that is still being sold is not really environmentally friendly. Be careful in your selection, ensuring that it's an environmentally friendly material; one that's readily available in your area. I prefer a pine soil conditioner. It's a very fine mulch that can be worked into the soil. I don't like the big, large chunks of mulch that look artificial in the garden beds.
