mulch is very over rated.

Subject: [NAFEX] Orchard Mulch Revisited


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?
