The only downside I can see is that the mulch harbors slugs. The birds work
over the ground and get a lot of them, but on susceptible crops I need to
use slug bait (sluggo or escargo, not the toxic stuff) early in the season.


I also mulch, and had a slug problem last year.

This year, I bought Escargo.

How do you spread it? Pull back the mulch? On top of the
mulch?

Thanks.
