My understanding is the smaller the size the more densely it packs and therefore the harder for stuff to grow through.
Anything can be a mulch too, rocks, leaves, straw, bark, plastic, cardboard. Find what fits your price and aesthetics, it’s mostly the same end result, but different pros and cons. Like I wouldn’t use rocks in a veggie garden, straw is great since you can compost and mulch it end of season, bark would need to be removed.
I want something that the good stuff can grow through and the weeds can't lol
So do we all bud hahah. Pull what you can, and if it’s a few plants put some landscaping fabric down and something you find pretty on top. The deeper the mulch, the mor wit suppresses the weeds.
