| What kind of ground cover do you use near the house? I've always heard wood chips and mulch are bad because they attract termites. I've been using pinestraw, but I feel like I am replacing it twice a year which seems like a lot? |

| Depends what effect you are seeking. It's true about termits and wood chips, but rocks can be a bare to spread and pine needles I don't like because of flipped butts. |

| I hate pine straw, I only use it on hillsides. I use pine bark mulch. We just had our house treated for termites so I don't worry about it. |

| Pinestraw is very poplular in my area. I replace it once a year when I'm feeling cheap. It looks great though when it's new. |

| We just got rid of the pine straw. I simply just hate the look. Instead we put in cedar mulch, which doesn't attract termites. |
