Wood chips come from the interior of a tree. This mulch is available as hardwood or softwood, or as a mixture. Hardwood mulches, according to Fine Gardening, will last a little longer than softwood mulches. Wood chips, in general, do not last as long in the landscape as bark mulches.
There have been more Republican presidents than Democratic presidents. Between 1789 and 2013, 43 people have been sworn into office as the president of the United States of America. Of these, a larger number have belonged to the Republican Party than have belonged to the Democratic Party.
Though there are 37 states where either a majority of Republicans or a majority of Democrats have a favorable opinion (and not both), there are eight that most of both groups like, including reliably blue states like Hawaii and Vermont, one reliably red state, Alaska, and genuine purple states like Virginia and Florida.
