Shredded Hardwood Mulch
Your BEST value! Still in a 3 cubic foot bag. While mulch helps with weed control it does much much more. Mulch keeps plant's roots cool in the summer and also helps with watering by slowing evaporation from the soil. Behnkes recommends you mulch no more than two inches deep, and always keep mulch away from the trunks of trees and shrubs.
