Slickdeal mulch posts are always the same - someone complaining about debris in their mulch, washed away color, etc. As discussed in this thread, all mulch is regional, Home Depot and Lowes has suppliers all over the country, for both their store brand and name brand mulches. In some areas you get tree stumps, most areas you get shredded pallets, and most places you get C&D (construction and demolition debris - basically, lumber from demoed buildings). it's a bit of the luck of the draw. Pallet and C&D is better at retaining color, because it is dry; grounds stumps, etc. have higher moisture content and don't hold color as well. C&D stuff is the one that will have the most debris (and potentially toxic material). All dyes are essentially the same - either iron oxide or carbon dye (like newspaper ink). I've gotten good mulch and bad mulch from lowes, HD and my local landscape company. There is no consistency - but check one bag, because there will be consistency within a pallet, as the source will usually be the same.

This mulch is regional, so what you get in MI might not be what you'd get in CA or NY.

Prop65 is basically meaningless [wsj.com]. A "Prop 65" label is attached to just about everything for fear of being sued. So congratulations CA, for passing a great "cry wolf" law that rendered itself moot by virtue of its existence.

Hope this is in NY too. I was waiting for the soil to go on sale. I know its always around this time of the year. That mulch price might even be easier then ordering a huge shipment which tends to be too much.

no MSC cert and a prop 65 warning. If you don't have kids, who cares but I wouldn't put this in a play area. Some bad reviews as well but mulch is always different across the country.

The reviews for the mulch are horrible. Glad I checked before I headed over there to buy a bunch.

mulch is sourced regionally. I have been using this mulch for years in midwest and it has been just like any other mulch be it Virgo or Scotts that go on the same sale.
