There are a couple of types of mulch I would avoid, however. One is cypress, available in bags at some big-box stores. There is at least one website devoted to the evils of cypress mulch, which has nothing to do with it damaging your plants. The issue: bald cypress is not a particularly common tree, being restricted to southern swamps. It does not regenerate rapidly and is vital to the swamp ecosystem. It is a waste of a good and magnificent tree to grind it up and throw it on your garden.
