Shoutout to the cedar mulch I switched to 2 summers ago, my weeds dropped way down
I used to dump that cheap black dyed mulch on every bed around my place in Boise, and I would be out there pulling weeds every single weekend from May to August. After 3 summers of that nonsense I got sick of it, so 2 summers ago I switched to plain cedar mulch, the chunky kind, about 3 inches deep. The difference is not small. My weed pulling dropped from maybe 2 hours a weekend to about 20 minutes, and the beds hold water way better when it hits 95 out. The cedar also does not fade to gray in a month like the dyed stuff did. My neighbor Barb asked what I was doing different, and when I told her she went and got 6 bags the next day. I paid about $4.50 a bag at the local nursery instead of $2.99 for the cheap stuff, and it is worth every cent. Anyone else made the switch, or do you have something that works even better for keeping weeds down?

Did you ever check if the cedar changed your soil pH after a few years?
