Hi Magali! We use mulch, which is really chopped up trees that have fallen
and the town has picked up and ground to chips. We get them free. They look
nice and for us at least are an easy no cost material. They do seem to
attract ants though I'm not sure why.

Subject: [Community_garden] Mulch vs gravel paths
Hello all,
I wanted to ask you a question - maybe some of you have an opinion:
1. Mulch vs. gravel path: We have a lovely community garden on East 6th
Street in the East Village in NYC with a gravel path and some of the
gardeners would like to see it replaced with mulch (wood chips). I happen
to like the gravel path a lot and would be sorry to see it go. There is
something very 'zen' about it. They say the mulch will be softer, easier
to maintain, smell really good etc...It is a lot of work to make that
change. I was wondering if you anyone out there has experience with mulch
and has an opinion, one way or another, about it? Or if there is any place
I could go for advice. I want to make sure we do the right thing.
Thanks,
Magali
