In the lengthy thread on mulching fruit trees, I didn't see anything on 
cedar.  My question is "Is the extra expense of procuring shredded cedar and 
cedar bark mulch worth it?"  I've used cedar extensively on perennial and 
rose beds and see a marked decrease in insect damage.  I've read that the 
resin in cedar is an insect repellent.  Any experience with this?
