3.  Mulch or rock your yard.

There is nothing like a nice rich looking flower bed with clean lines to compliment your front yard. By the way did you ever hear of artillery fungus. A good friend had pressure washed my house and had noticed these tiny black spots on my siding and porch. I had smelled this musty smell but couldn't figure out what caused it. So if you smell a musty smell around your house, it's most likely your mulch. He told me that it was a fungus that shoots it's spores unto house, porch or wherever. It is found in mulch that is rotting due to moisture caused by humidity, excessive rain or being in the shade and never really drying out. In order to get rid of this fungus it needs to be replaced either by new mulch or rocks. I decided on rocks because I did not want to spend money on mulch every year. So I found these light grey rocks at Lowe's and made a border between the house and my plants.
