Default mulch alternative suggestions wanted

Treetops said:

Ditto on the cocoa shells.
Damp spots remain moldly all summer. Also if it is loose in spots (fluffed
up or newly laid), a strong wind blows it around, or people, pets etc
walking on it tracks it around; a real nuisance.
Also, both my wife and I found the smell to be too strong, especially when
damp.
I can't imagine why anyone uses the stuff.


Supplies potassium and some nitrogen. I find it best used mixed with shredded
leaves, which prevents it from clumping up so much. The cocoa shells are the
last bit to be consumed, and the remnants don't clump up like fresh ones do.
