It seems cypress trees make good mulch, but these are old growth trees that are being harvested in unsustainable ways, and in some cases illegally. These trees are also critical for the protection and natural habitats of the Gulf coast wetlands.
If you buy mulch or wood chips, make sure it doesn’t come from cypress trees!
Honestly, this is just one more excellent example of why your garden shouldn’t have any inputs. You don’t need to buy anything except a few tools, a little potting soil if you start plants indoors and some lime if your soil is acidic. Otherwise, most gardens are fine with only your own waste recycled as compost. Only add other things if you are absolutely sure they are necessary! Anytime you add extra fertilizer, mulch, manure, chemicals or anything else, you risk damaging your health, natural balances in your garden or the environment as a whole.
