Pinebark mulch for perennials
A year ago we had 2 large pines cut down and ground up for mulch. Is it safe to use these chips now as mulch around perennials and garden areas for weed deterrent? We live outside Atlanta GA. We have just planted some new perennials and wanted to mulch them with this great looking bark.

Yes, pine bark is a fine mulch to use around plants and will help keep down the weeds.
Keep growing,
