Leaf Echinacea
Leaf Echinacea

Should I put rocks or mulch around my plants?
I have two 6×6 areas in my front yard, one on each side of the porch. My husband wants to fill it in with rocks and use barrels for plants. I want to plant a mixture of hostas, day lilies, echinacea, etc…color! He doesn’t like the wood chips, and I hear rocks are hard to clean out when it starts getting dead leaves and petals. What do you recommend? Any pictures or ideas to share? What about keeping weeds away?
Both rocks and mulch work well for moisture, heat and weed barriers. As far as weeds, I recommend Preen on both.
We have both types in our yard, so I will tell you the pros and cons of each.
Rocks
Pros: Last forever, some people like the way they look better than mulch, stay put for the most part
Cons: They are pretty permanent and yes, they are hard to clean up if you change your mind about having them there. Also, neighborhood kids like to play in them and throw them. Watch out for rocks in your yard when you mow.
Mulch
Pros: Decomposes (very slowly) and works as natural fertilizer, some people like the way it looks better.
Cons: You have to replace it twice a year, migrates into surrounding areas, slivers with some kinds, although you can get the kind that don’t have slivers
