| Abstract/Contents: | "Fifteen organic materials including commercially available mulches were evaluated during the six month period of June to Noverber 1990 to determine their potential value as landscape mulch. The materials evaluated included cypress mulch, pine bark, pine straw, grass clippings, hardwood chips, ground yard trash, cypress mulch on oak leaves, hardwood chips on oak leaves, ground yard trash on oak leaves, cypress mulch on ground yard trash, hardwood chips on ground yard trash, oak leaves, chipped branches, Pinellas mulch, and Tampa mulch. Particle size of the mulches were determined. During the evaluation period, soil pH, soil moisture, soil temperature, and rate of subsidence were measured. Color differences were determined. Weeds were collected monthly, and dry weights were recorded. Trials to determine water infiltreation rate and effect of flooding and wind were conducted. Significant differences were detected in soil moisture, soil temperature, weed control, and subsidence. Subjective evaluations were ascertained by written survey. Cypress mulch and wood chips ranked highest and grass clippings and Pinellas mulch ranked lowest." |
