Hey all,
I'm stuck inside today due to weather so I figured I might as well ask a question I've been wondering about.

Has anyone ever planted semps in an area that is heavily mulched with wood? All areas that my semps are planted in are rock mulched, but I have two long bed areas that are mulched with cedar.
In the future I'd eventually like to put some semps in there too, but does wood mulch retain too much moisture on the surface and cause semp rot? I've always assumed so, so I'm just wondering about other's experiences.

I've given some thought to drilling/hollowing out rocks and/or using driftwood to keep the semps above and isolated from the excess moisture. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
