Hi Brenda, sorry you mulch is not staying where it belongs. Hope this will help you. The only way to keep mulch completely in the flower bed or garden is to edge it with something high enough to hold in themulch in place during a storm. Some ideas include: Landscape Edging: Wood, metal, plastic, or stone edging can help keep mulch in its place. Make sure the edging is several inches high.

No mulch is a permanent or as holdfast in the wind as rocks.
Eventually it will need to be topped up.
In the meantime, you can try raking it with a very lightweight rake, to even out the coverage, and to reduce the bunching up spots.
You need edging like the black round plastic you put in ground or bricks or stone pile them up on side
Edging or a rigid border like bricks will help keep it contained.
