We use pine straw and it has to be replaced about twice a year. We have no concern on ticks or fire. Not crazy about replacing it twice a year but part of my reasoning is " have you noticed the Villages uses it exclusively" and there must be a reason since most people think they clearly know what they are doing. Wood clips we heard can draw termites and other insects.
