re: Let’s talk rubber mulch

I'd never use it, but that's just me. The main reason being I like to change my flower beds around from time to time and dealing with all that rubber mulch would be a real PITA. At least with wood bark or some similar organic mulch you can incorporate it into the soil if it is sufficiently broken down when doing the work.

I have a lot of annuals I put in my flower beds in the front yard and at least once a year I'll turn the soil once the annuals die back and lay new weed blocking material, plant new plants and then mulch.
