I would like to know if it is wise to use a cypress mulch around a pond to
cover up the dirt in the planting beds. Has anyone done this and do the wood ships fly around, get in the pond, and cause problems. I really have dry claylike soil and it is not pretty when it is dry. Are there any alternatives that would wok better? TIA Randy |

cypress is good if for no other reason than it is not toxic IF it does get into the
pond. It floats so it can be scooped out. Ingrid "Randy" wrote: I would like to know if it is wise to use a cypress mulch around a pond to cover up the dirt in the planting beds.

I've use the cyprus mulch around my pond since 1991 and I am very pleased
with it. My dirt is clay, like yours, and the mulch works great covering it up and inhibiting weed growth. wrote in message ... cypress is good if for no other reason than it is not toxic IF it does get into the pond.
