I just found out that I have termites in my mulch. Also in house, Orkin doing their thing.
I haven't mulched yet this year (1st spring/summer in home). I know there is some treated mulch available, but heard it breaks down after a while. Really not into the whole shredded tire thing either.
If I put down gravel, what type should I use, and will the plants be able to get through it next year?
