Beginner Gardening: Mulch that stays in place, 1 by ecrane3

Or you might try a different size of mulch--I think bigger chips will slide down the hill easier than smaller chips or the fine hairlike shredded mulch (out here they call it "gorilla hair"). I have a hill that is reasonably steep and I have small bark pieces for mulch and they stay in place pretty well. We don't get a lot of rain overall, but it usually all falls during a couple storms in the wintertime, so we do get a good volume of water all at once. Here's a pic of my hill so you can get some perspective on the steepness (there's a wider area of hill to the left of the steps, all mulched)
