"A good time was had by all" is an example of the passive voice. If you wanted to make this sentence active, you would change it to say something like, "Everyone at the picnic had a good time." Or "All of those at the picnic had a good time."

Is it appropriate to use the passive voice in the sentence The mulch was spread by the gardeners to prepare for spring planting?
Yes, it is appropriate to use the passive voice in the sentence:The mulch was spread by the gardeners to prepare for spring planting.Reason: The specific identity of the actor is unimportant.HOWEVER, using active voice is crisper, more vivid, and makes sentences shorter--a good thing! So you can make "the gardeners" the actors.The gardeners spread the mulch to prepare for spring planting. = active voice.NOTE 1: The word "by" is often a clue to a passive sentence, along with helping verbs of the "be" variety (is, are, was, were, has, have, had, etc.).NOTE 2: When you create active sentences, it makes sentences shorter (which is good writing)! So always try to put the actor FIRST, with an active verb.
