Using mulch is really a win-win-win situation. It looks great, is great for the soil and decreases weed growth. I definitely noticed less weed growth in our garden when we used mulch.

I made the mistake though of not putting a weed liner underneath and soon found the weeds unmanageable. I dont know about you but I find that when I moved to using mulch rather than slate, the weeds lessened. Did anyone else notice this? Also the mulch looks really great as mentioned in this blog.
