Which is better for keeping grass at bay?

Thanks.

You will find they are very similar in many ways. Effectiveness is
proportional to depth. If any grass does grow through it will be easy enough
to pull out. Tap rooted weeds will push through and will thrive, so remove
them before the mulch. Pine needles tend to be more acidic.

Thank you for your response. The areas in question have mostly hydrangeas
and camillias. So I think I will opt for pine needles. Thanks

Maybe next time you will know to post your questions in Esperanto!

Just funning with you, Mork from Ork.

Too bad your original question is deleted from your reply. Can't answer it
now.

Stay away from smoking grass spiked with Old Bay!!

Why would you want to grow grass with your Bay trees?


I am 100% sure you have missunderstood my post. (At bay) meaning,
keeping it from growing. I should know better than to use uncommon
language terms when posting to a group of international posters. :)
sorry.
