Shredded mulch brings shotgun fungus. Believe me, that fungus plagued my home in NJ and here in The Villages. We paid to have the shredded mulch completely removed from both properties all at the same time. What a mess as it shoots little black spores all over your house and surrounding areas, including cars. To make matters worse, each spot has to be scraped off the surface because it is not easily removed. How many spots you ask??? Thousands!!!!

We had rock installed in our The Villages home. Plants have been happy happy for the past few years.
