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.
Of all the Democrat and Republican presidents, only one served two non-consecutive terms. This was Grover Cleveland, who served as both the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. This is why there have been 44 presidencies but only 43 people who have held the office.
