Just curious why gravel over mulch?
I have both and I wish it was all mulch.
Sheet mulching is great for the first few years but the cardboard will break down and you’ll have weeds again. With mulch you can just lay down more cardboard and go again. It’s not that easy with gravel.

To add on to your notes about maintenance: I have large gravel, mulch, and grass in my backyard. The gravel requires much more weeding time than the mulch. The mesh does nothing.
I think it’s important to note this will up your backyard tick count exponentially
I would absolutely love non-motorized suggestions for a leaf mulcher. My compost pile cannot keep up and I don’t have a lawn mower…
I don’t have a mower. I leave the leaves through spring and then begin composting them. I have more leaves than pile though.
Thanks for responding! I guess I should have specified that I was asking for outdoor spaces/gardening…
I was looking at leaf mulchers and wondering if it was worth buying. Right now the only thing I need is a weed eater!

Does your area have an ag extension office? Or a master gardener program? They should be good resources!
Just got my hands on a swamp milkweed this week. Very excited to see what ends up on it next year.
Also bee balm, phlox, western sunflowers, a variety of coneflowers, eastern Prickly pear, and an ostrich fern all hidden in my tiny backyard.

Why did they name it Titan??
I just wish we could stop with the misinformation surrounding them. I wish we would protect native bees instead of worshipping invasives (in the US).
