Thanks. Apparently I know all your tips already! I thought you had some secret sauce for me! Hahaha
I love the woodchips. Free and easy to move in buckets when delivered.
Retains moisture in soil like crazy.
Here in the Seattle area straw gets too waterlogged and mold sets in.

I have access to tons of straw, so that’s my choice. I notice that MY wood mulch is prone to growing mushrooms and mold, so I’m constantly having to ‘rough it up.’ I just have it on my rose bed and across the full-sun front of the house - where the PUPPIES usually take care of that for me!
