Is it out of line to use hardwood mulch in a veggie garden? What
would the negatives be?

It could rob nitrogen from your soil when it breaks down

I've been doing this about 5 years and it
seems I'm ALWAYS fighting the weeds... especially around root plants
(onions, beets, etc.) Hopefully I can get more crops for the deer
this year!

Try using regular grass clippings, shredded up leaves, shredded
newspaper and my personal favorite is pilling on mushroom soil.
