Here are my beloved hens & chicks before this year's mulching and after. In the past I used a leaf blower/mulcher to chop up my leaves and put them in the garden, but two years ago I decided to try a cleaner, more manicured look. The old mulch was woody and coarse. This year I upgraded to ICBIN, which is finer and darker. I love the look! And my plants are protected and ready for the summer.
