Hello,
I am considering using mulch in my yard and have been reading up online about its benefits.
I am currently in GA (hardiness zone 7-8) and the mulch will be spread in an area from which pine trees were recently removed and two Japanese Maples were planted.
I am also planning on planting a couple more fruit-bearing trees (example: apple, pear, pomegranate) as well as lavender within the next couple of weeks. I might also split some of my pampas grass from other areas of my yard and place it there as well (I have another thread about Pampas Grass in this Forum).
Could you please recommend the best mulch type for the above application? I see several different types on sites like HomeDepot, Lowes, ACE_HW etc and I'd like to buy something that would do well in the above area, is reasonably priced and has reasonable longevity. I am not picky about colour.
Also, I assume the optimal bag-weight/spread-area and height ratio will be specified on the packaging...?
Thank you in advance for helping me with my yard!
Regards,
-Walter
