The flower gardens at my church are overgrown with weeds. Of course, after weeding them, the weeds grow right back. What little mulch there was has pretty well composted into the soil. The largest flower bed is approximately 12 foot by 30 foot. The other 2 are about 4 foot by 6 foot. All three are up against a building, on the south side.
I plan on taking on the task of cleaning up the flower gardens and hopefully keeping them clean with as little work as possible, lol, with lots of mulch. All that is growing in them are some bushes and a few palms. No one has planted in a long time. I would like to add plants at a later date.
I need facts to present at the next business meeting. What l plan on using and how deep the mulch needs to be. The pros and cons of what kind of mulch is best. And cost effectiveness.
Has anyone used the artificial mulch? Were you happy with it? If using organic mulch which kind is best? How deep?
I'm located on the edge of USDA zone 8b and 9. Just north of Houston.
What do y'all think would be the best way to go?
