| Abstract: | Local research on the flammability of common garden mulches is a key ingredient in a national study on how wildfires can impact homes. Using four mulches commonly used around the country - pine straw, shredded cypress and small and large chunk pine bark nuggets - researchers here are testing their levels of ignition, flammability, combustibility and sustainability in a controlled-burn. Many people use mulches directly up to and in contact with their homes, providing fuel to flames. | |
