Thanks that is what I was considering, rain, mud etc. So the shredded variety?

i get “double ground hardwood mulch” is what the bag says. it’s the only kind i can get in my area that is not dyed or cedar.

Was wondering as far as absorption and / or tidiness if one is better than the other.

Coarse wood chips, the kind you get from a tree-trimming service, are often considered the gold standard against mud and/or odor and they are often available free.

Not everyone has the space to store an entire truckload though.

Some municipalities have a place where the town road crews dump their trimmings and residents can haul it off for free in whatever quantities they can hande.

All materials have advantages and disadvantages.
