Wow, you guys are toxic and mentally stressed. I can disagree with what people call mulch. My entire life between growing my own stuff, working retail like home depot, tgt, etc, I've never had people call straw or sheeting of any kind "mulch". Wood? Yep, mulch. Chopped up car tires or other rubber? Yep, mulch. Straw or pine needles? Normally just reffered to as ground covering. I've been gardening and growing shit for damn near 30 years. I was growing stuff outside of an apt that had zero accessible dirt and only concrete to work with.
The fact that you think that is whining after someone had to play the well actually game on a post about gardening tells me all I need to know about you and I thank you for sticking your head up so I can block you. At least lemmy does blocks right.
