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.
Republicans still have a slight edge over Democrats in voter registration in Colorado, and in the 2010 midterms, Coloradans sent four Republicans and three Democrats to the U.S. House. That was an abrupt change from 2008, when the split was five to two in favor of Democrats and Barack Obama handily won the state.
