I have been using Cedar chips as mulch over the top of old pine
straw/needles and pine bark as bedding material around my Azaleas,
Camelias, Gardenias and Day Lilies. I've even used it around some of
my Rose bushes. As many insects avoid Cedar, it would seem its use a
natural for gardeners. Is Cedar as good as it seems? (I haven't had
any pest problems.) Does any know of any problems using Cedar chips
around trees, bushes and flowers?
