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?
