Regarding Pine Needle Mulch:
 
I appreciate Jim Fruth's input, as the only one with actual DATA to support his claim.
 
As far as the rest of the 'mulch news':
 
I would plant at least three groups of "fill in the blank" plants. All at once.
 
1.     No mulch at all.
2.     Pine needle mulch.
3.     Your favorite mulch.
4.     etc. etc.
 
Report on the entire population.
Even 'empirical' data beats folklore.
Until then, we have........

PS     This is the first year I have not been able to shop for next year's plants, as I have been laid off. This sucks. So, do what you can, NOW !!! Build it !
