Default Garden Mulch
said:

hey anyone have any recomendations on what to use as a vegetable garden
mulch?

Straw.


I need something to reduce my use of water this season

and something that wont cause mold to grow

Mulch helps retain water, and keeps the surface of the bed dark. Why
wouldn't mold thrive in such conditions?


I have a pretty decent sized garden 20 x 30 with raised beds .. well
pathways anyway .
