Cedar mulch is a great product and will be fine to use on any vegetables or trees you want to grow. It even has some insect-deterring qualities because of the strong scent. We sell double shredded cedar mulch pre-bagged or in bulk, and can have it delivered to your location if you need a larger quanity than you can conveniently transport yourself.
I have a question about weather to use hardwood or softwoods compost around the plants next to the foundation of the house

Lou,Some people are hesitant to use hardwood mulch around their foundation due to the possibility of termites, cedar mulch is a good product to use since the cedar oil in the mulch is a natural insect repellent. When choosing a mulch make sure that you are familiar with where the mulch comes from, we have a hardwood mulch that we "cook" in large piles to kill off any insects or weed seeds to ensure a top quality product for home owners.is cedar mulch too acidic for most applications?

No the cedar mulch is not too acidic, cedar is native to most alkaline soils so the ph is usually going to be less acidic than a pine bark mulch.
