To reduce mold, mulch with wood chips or gravel?

If you want to lay down mulch in your garden, be careful! Molds often grow in the wood chips, bark, shredded leaves and similar materials used to mulch a garden.

Mold, mildew, dust and pollen can also collect in the branches of hedges, so keep those hedges pruned!
