"Is it ok to use mulch in our flower beds? I heard mulch causes termites."

Organic mulch, such as ground bark, pine straw, and dried leaves, is a useful gardening tool for controlling weeds, conserving moisture, and keeping flower beds looking neat. Go ahead and use it. Just be sure not to allow any type of organic mulch to be piled against the foundation of the house, especially if it becomes deep enough that it reaches the siding. This is an open invitation to termites. Better yet, try to maintain a mulch-free strip immediately adjacent to the foundation wall that is approximately two feet wide. Use gravel or other inorganic mulch in this area if you wish.
