Yard Clippings/Waste

From the cinnamon-brown maple leaves in autumn to spring and summer's extensive grass clippings, the often discarded or burned yard waste is a gold-mine of mulch.

Pros:

Who doesn't love FREE?

Readily available

Easy to transport

Excellent for plants requiring a mulching in the autumn because it offers the added benefit of nutrients as it decomposes

Cons:

Not attractive as an aesthetic addition to a garden

Not a long-term mulch due to decomposition

May have weed seeds

Recycled Tires

Not for every gardener, but for those desiring to make a green statement in addition to a strong color statement, recycled tires offer long-term bang for your initial buck.

Pros:

Who doesn't love recycled materials?

Won't break down

Bold color statement

Animals/insects don't care for it

Cons:

Let's face it, tires don't smell good

Tires are not the most economic option
