Thanks for finding that article for us. I have bought that and now I will avoid it. What our city really needs is a heavy duty industrial-strenth machine that will turn all our wasted palm fronds into valuable mulch. Mulch for the masses! One of the casinos in Las Vegas does it because they were spending so much money on disposing of all those fronds. Palm frond mulch is definitely the way to go.
I second that motion. Cypress makes wonderful mulch but it is such a waste. If you want to see some there are quite a few in Texas. The Frio River near Uvalde (beautiful) is one.
Down here Brownsville probably has the best mulching program. I just haven't been able to figure out how to get a truckload out here without spending a fortune. Anyone who wants to throw down on a load, such as for the BUtterfly Garden and for personal use, please let me know.
The other source of mulch is mountain cedar (mountain juniper). It grows in the Hill Country and is a horrible pest that robs water from the land - and plus, it is one of the worst allergy plants the Lord invented. Trucking it from the Hill Country all the way down here makes it a little expensive, though.
Zeste's, that nice garden where we sometimes have lunch, is all planted with mountain cedar mulch.
