Helpful Gardening Hints for Homeowners
Commonly asked questions:
Q. Which is better for my plants, rock or mulch?
A. Mulch is definitely more beneficial for several reasons. Mulch helps retain moisture, and has nutritional
value. Also, as it breaks down it is incorporated as a soil amendment. Mulch normally needs to be top dressed
every other year. Rock retains heat causing your plants to dry out faster, costs more at the time of
installation, and limits your plant choices.
