good question garden-goon either would work well, id go wtih wahtever was more readily available / cheaper for you, hay / pine. just remember the mulch on these beds should not be applied too early, before the soil temperature drops sufficiently to send the perennials into dormancy. Nor should it be of an easily compacted material, such as whole leaves. Compacted material around the crowns of the plant encourages disease and fungal growth. Be sure to remove the mulch from the perennial beds and the bulbs after the last hard frost - on or about April 10. Applying a protective cover of mulch at the right time will assure that the plants survive the winter in a healthy condition to produce their best come spring. Happy gardening mulch goon
