How to Pick a Mulch — and Why Your Soil Wants It
There's more to topdressing than shredded wood. Learn about mulch types, costs and design considerations here Full Story »
Showcase Gardens We recently had a job where we had to remove FIVE different layers of weed cloth or plastic and rock. I'm a little ambivalent about the use of weed cloth. Sure, it keeps the weeds underneath from sprouting, but it does nothing to stop seeds distributed by birds or the wind from growing on top. And as judithesl has discovered, it shows through once the rock shifts.

aldrda Very nice! I was a big fan of rubber mulch also, (see previous comment), but when i started using it on the plants in the front of my house, which get full sun 8 hrs. a day, the plants that had been there for 12 years and looked great, starting dying. I knew they were getting plenty of water, and fertilizer, so I ask a landscaper friend to look at them. He took one look at them and immediately said "You can't use rubber mulch in Florida in the summer time, because the mulch gets extremely hot, and will kill the plants!" When I picked up a handful of the mulch, I was dumbfounded how hot it was! It's alot more expensive than regular mulch, and it all came out the same day! The plants never survived, and I ended up replacing them! Maybe O.K. for shaded areas, that don't get much sun, but I'm sure Texas gets as hot as Florida. And the funny thing is, I asked a garden employee in Lowe's, and one in Home Depot, to recommend the best mulch, and they both said they don't use any mulch, because they all have problems!! go figure.......

Shahmiri Fine Art That's good to know. I used rubber mulch on the side of my house where grass would grow in patches. It too receives full sun and the grass always looked bad. With red mulch it looks clean and offers a nice contrast.

My Houzz: Sustainable Bamboo for a Prototype Home in Nicaragua
Ecofriendly living has a new champion, as a Granada firm kicks off its bamboo offerings with this house's architecture and furnishings Full Story »
petaben pinkylind the processing method is very much about timing for curing of the bamboo using borax. This allows the bamboo to last for forty plus years. You only need to treat the bamboo once and thats it. A wonderful natural building material. Like anything, with proper preservation and care, it can last for ages and ages.
