Re: It's red. It's rubber. Is it safe for your garden?

Just the thought of rubber makes me cringe. I personally don't like the "unnatural" look of it. Mulch never stays where it is, and what do you do about migrating rubber bits?

I use wood chips, organic mulch, 3/8" gravel, or pea stone depending upon where and why the mulch is needed.

There are pluses and minuses for most situations but I don't see any pluses over the four mulch types I use.

Re: September Inspiration

Nice writing Helen. I totally agree about the wildlife - except for the voles!!!!
We live on 16 acres of Maine woods. Why do they have to pick on my garden? Never mind - I know why. My plants are an easy treat compared to the natives in the woods. But I ain't going native. It's too narrow a plant palate for me.

Time to go outside & enjoy my garden.
