Zu: Didn't Don give a rather lengthy and informative spiel once about not using redwood as a mulch OR a soil ammendment when planting roses ? Something about the tannins in it being not so beneficial for roses. (Maybe it was someone else...)
You're so right about all the junk in that city-made compost/mulch. Seems like regardless of the city it's always full of debris of some kind.
Anyone use pine needles as a mulch ?
