My husband and I are firm believers in mulch and I am done applying it for the spring - 45 bags of pine needles. They're easy to use and look good as they keep down the weeds and keep the soil cool.

We have six compost bins and use it for all plants, not just vegetables.

Wet springs are often followed by dry summers so I would vote for the leaf mulch for your plants.
