I want the mulch that takes longest to break down. Available a
hardwood, shrubbery, pine, cypress, and cedar.

Which breaks down the slowest?

Or is the shape more important: shredded vs. nuggets? Thanks


Hardwood nuggets the size of children's building blocks will take
decades to break down.

shrubbery mulch (leaves and stems etc) and pine mulch will be gone fairly
quickly. Generally the harder/denser the wood the slower it should decay.
