There is no “best” mulch for all situations. Use what is available. Pine straw, pine bark, hardwood bark, shredded leaves/debris, wood chips or compost in a 3- to 6-inch layer is needed to help hold moisture, reduce weed problems, and moderate extremes in temperature around the root zone. Contact Seaside Mulch in Wilmington NC for even more options.
