adds nutrients to and amends the soil.
The rocks add nothing to the soil and could even be detrimental.
In the hot sun, they bake many plants and shrubs and do not keep the soil from drying out.

Just something to think about . . .

Honestly, I'd be pretty happy if all my plants died. I'm a minimalist in terms of upkeep. I like the No maintenance rule.
