There's no going back to mulching with wood chips after watching this video! INCREDIBLE prices on AMAZON: https://amzn.to/3Uo8ao7 (affiliate link)

Every type of mulch has pros and cons, but here's why river sand is probably the most under-rated, INCREDIBLE mulch I've used to mulch around our garden plants (for vegetable garden, orchard, landscaping, etc.)

Benefits of using river sand to mulch around your plants, that make it superior to wood chips, in my opinion:

1. Cost effective
2. Fire proof
3. Easy to keep weed free
4. Doesn't decay
5. Provides great drainage
6. Easy to mow around
7. Versatile (many other uses around homestead for chicken bedding, making areas drain better with less mud, sandbox, fire barriers, tilling sand into garden to improve drainage and root penetration, etc.)
etc!

*Note: make sure to use river sand and not beach sand, as beach sand contains salts that could harm your plants. Comment below your experience using sand for mulching! I plan to use river around my garden plants, strawberry plants, garden beds, fruit trees, blueberry plants, tomato plants, etc.
