Cost of mulching depends on the method you use can be costly.

Despite what you may think from reading the preceding paragraphs, mulching is not the answer to every gardener’s prayer. For one thing, if the soil is not in very good shape, a mulch may do more harm than good by keeping it hidden from view. For another, organic mulches are high in carbon, and the microorganisms breaking them down will use up some of the soil’s nitrogen to restore the balance. There is also a danger that in damp areas certain kinds of mulches will provide the perfect home for slugs and similar pests. Inorganic mulches, like black plastic, have their disadvantages, too, and they are discussed below.

Although using mulch has many benefits, it cal also be detrimental to the garden in mainly two ways:
Overmulching can bury and suffocate plants
Mulch provides a convenient hiding place for pests
Bake your plants with excess heat if don incorrectly
With most organic mulches, a layer of 2 to 4 inches is plenty. The finer the material, the thinner the layer needed.
Unfortunately, mulch provides the perfect place for slugs, snails, and other pests to hide. Use shallow cups of beer to attract and drown them, or sprinkle wood ashes or diatomaceous earth around the base of precious plants to keep the slugs and snails at bay.
