Photo - Gorilla Hair Mulch

This fibrous wood mulch makes a very dense layer

that is great for controlling weeds and keeping the soil

cool and moist - ideal conditions for plant root development.

Gorilla Hair mulch is expensive at about twice the cost of

recycled wood chips from Miramar Nursery, but is looks great.

Here is a website for info on buying it in San Diego;
