Mulch makes wet!

Cool picture I took the other day of one of my beds that's right near the road. They redid the asphalt last year (not my vote at all) and it shows up really clearly what the mulch is doing to the water retention in the area. There was a very light rain shower, and a half hour or so later I took this. No other areas up and down the road that I could see were wet, including under trees that are near the road.
AWESOME!!
