You are right on. Our beds are under four or five inches of ground wood bark. We have replaced a few plants over the years but never added anything except for the blue berries that like a bit more acid fertilizer. We use a good low number organic for acid loving plants in this case. Other than that we don't do much work in the many flower and fruit beds we maintain.

I use lots of manures of all kinds into our huge compost piles. We move the compost about the property at the rate of about a ton or more a year. Very little that will rot leaves this property.

This picture shows a small part of two beds in the foreground. In the background is a property line just loaded with mulch. They have remained as you see the for at least thirty five years. That is the bed the blue berries thrive in for us. The shrubs are my neighbors. I just work off his property line shrub row.
