Wow. Fantastically bad idea.

1. All that absorbed heat will affect plant tissue near shingles.
2. Heavy metals in manufacture.
3. Gas exchange modification.
4. Other mulches return nutrients to the soil (try, say, 8 in, of
straw, or cardboard and grass clippings).
5. You'll look like a kook.

Really. Natural mulches, please.

Tar paper pots that many plants come in. Take tar-paper pots to each of
your above and see how silly and stupid is your attitude and argument.

Why is it so difficult for a given mind, a given person to be objective
rather than subjective. To be able to make a list of objective
arguments rather than a list of subjective hogwash which merely echoes
ad hominem.

Perhaps graduate schools of all the sciences should have a course where
not only is ethics and morals taught but where students are give a test
that measures whether their personality is such that they would not be
good in making science their career.

Many of the posters on the internet to the sci newsgroups who have a
degree in science, judging from their accumulating posts and their
pattern of abuse such as Uncle Al-- Alan Schwartz as one example should
have their science degree revoked. Anti-science behaviour, a pattern of
behaviour such as Alan Schwartz of the inability to be objective and
constantly ad hominem and subjectivity of loss of objectivity should be
rewarded by a revoking of their degree in science.The idea that when a
student graduates from University in a science carries that degree no
matter what further happens in his/her life should be changed to that
of a possible revoking of that degree because the person is more
anti-science and has abandoned the objectivity that science demands.

So tell me, if tar-paper pots are commonly used then what exactly is
wrong with tar shingles for mulch?
