Finer inorganic mulch materials can be of value applied in areas with extended ponding times i.e. in the the centre of recessed, bowl shaped [[bioretention]], [[stormwater planters]], [[trenches]] or [[swale]] practices. Inorganic mulches resist movement from flowing water and do not float. Applying a thin layer of inrgonaic mulch over the top of wood based mulch has been shown to reduce migration of the underlying layer by around 25% <ref>Simcock, R and Dando, J. 2013.
