You won't find rubber mulch or woods chips laying on the forest floor- you find leaf mold and under that a layer of pure compost. This is the effect we need to maintain and enhance- and it clearly works very well, IT'S BEEN THE PROCESS FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS!

Nature is showing us the way to maintain a sustaibale and healty garden but instead we are using unnnatural products or techniques and think we know better.

But don't take my word for it; I'm just a contrary person to begin with. But you can pick up let's say, Mike McGrath's "Book of Compost"... which has about two chapters dedicated to explaining the dangers of wood mulch.

The book is an easy read - nothing technical about it, and it's small size makes it cheap.

Thats all I have to say about wood mulch.
