Give me your suggestions on what to put around garden as a cover Please :)

I'm creating a garden in the back corner of our yard where the grass doesn't grow. We live in a rental so i don't want to spend a huge amount of money when I know when we leave it's not going to be maintained. So my plan is to put the edging in and make like a Pot Plant garden with all our pots. The ground is horrible so i'm also thinking that I want to put some time of cover around them.

Sugarcane mulch/bark chips/crushed tiles??? I have no idea. I'm not much of a gardener so not entirely sure what the best thing is to use. I want something that is low maintence and looks nice.

So what are your suggestions on the best thing to use.

Bark chips are not that expensive seeming you are rental. I would avoid crushed tiles.

being a rental, make sure it's something that will break down ok when you leave as the last thing you want is a bill to clean it up if the land lord doens't want it there! sugar cane mulch breaks down very well over a couple of years

The landlord had given permission for a garden to be built there and left there
But yeah... i don't want to spend to much on it.

Pigface or gazania are hardy and spread quickly.
