I've been following this thread, and have a somewhat related question to pose as well:

As far as mulch is concerned, can a garden bed be mulched right up to the foundation, or should a few inches of gravel separate the mulch and the concrete for drainage purposes?

In the picture below, the mulch goes right up to the concrete (though you can't really tell it's concrete because the color blends with the siding in the photo).
