Yeah good points. I doubt it's going to replace the need to fertilize and/or amend anytime soon though.

Well if you get mulch, I hope you don't leave it piled up somewhere where it can catch fire.

I have never had enough wood mulch to create that much heat. A DOT contractor had a pile 60 feet wide and 20 feet tall piled up in a vacant lot in a business district. It had been smoldering for days before it ignited.
