Illegal drug users get fired more frequently (4.6 percent were terminated within the past year compared to 1.4 percent of non-users). Drug users also switch jobs more frequently; 32.1 percent worked for three or more employers in the past year, compared to 17.9 percent of non-drug-using workers.
This can mean a good supply of mulch alternatives. Grass clippings can only be used as mulch if the clippings are added to other types of mulching ingredients. The reason for this is that grass clippings do not have a free circulation of oxygen and actually can build up methane gas in larger volumes.
Mulch can be applied anytime throughout the year. Some seasons are desirable than others. In cold winter months apply only 1 inch thick to insulate the ground to prevent soil warming. In spring mulch should be 2 inches thick and pushed away from planting. In fall mulch should be a 2-4 inch coverage to delay frost penetration, allowing more time for root growth.
