For the time being i can't get the kind of mulch I want. They do not really sell less than a yard, and I don't have any way of getting that much mulch and spreading it right now. I will have to just mulch around the daylilies themselves and mulch the rest later. If I put paper down and used a cypress, eucalyptus or other mulch on top of it. would that be okay? I have been very busy with school work and don't have access to a truck right now.
