Where I’m at, it’s a life saver to retain moisture in the soil, as we’re very dry and windy. Without it, plants need watering much more often!
Same here actually. I liked the take on looking at it a different way though
Try straw or hay. Its wonderful but last way less long.

(it’s nothing. i think nothing.)
I think they are correct for certain areas of the world. If you live somewhere that is very humid and gets tons of rain from heavy storms all summer, it actually can help your garden plants survive and not drown from surface pooling
Yeah I agree with that.
People make things so complicated… Go to the nearest patch of relatively undisturbed native forest. Look at what is on the ground. That is what you should emulate.
