Hey everyone,
I am looking for suggestions of a dense ground cover that would be a candidate to replace the mulch I have in all of our gardens..I would be looking for something for zone 4 that would be easy to clean from all the leaves and winter debris, and would still allow all the bulbs and perennials to emerge in the spring. Our gardens vary from barely full sun (I like to think that we have some areas that are full sun for at least part of the year) to getting an hour or two of direct sun and the dappled shade.
