    Astrid, the only mulch we might be able to get is the sugar cane mulch i think? It's the one wrapped up in a big block of white plastic. think it is sugar cane mulch? Did see some at the hardware a few weeks ago, wasn't even aware that they were stocking it, so not sure on how long it will be there for.

    NIc - if you're doing a no dig garden, sugar cane mulch will be fine. it's not ideal, but it's still heavy enough to help out. put down lots of newspaper or cardboard first, then they mulch - between the two of them, they should smother any grass underneath

    RH - fantastic news on the watermelon - and so happy it has been delish for you
