Plus, Grumpy shares his tip about gravel mulch.
What else would you recommend?
Grumpy Gardener Answer:Well, first of all,pine strawis not too acidic for anything.
But they are a great mulch, and I love to use it because it’s natural.
Now, what do I mean by gravel?
First of all, I am not talking about lava rock.
I like earth tone colors for mulches.
So they’re doing everything that you want a mulch to do.
And if you do it right, it really looks neat up in front of your house.
you could use rocks or bricks, but that will keep all that gravel in place.
It’ll keep down the weeds, the shrubs will be happy, and you’ll be happy.
