for the last time, mulches are sourced regionally even the bagged kind. Lowes, HD, etc get it from the same processor that "by the yard" use. If in your region construction debris is used, then you odds are very high you will run into it at any source
Ha, I say that about Home Depot. I much prefer Lowe's. But that's because our local Home Depot seems to be from 1972 and the Lowe's is much newer.
I get that, but the price is so much higher for bulk delivered mulch.

1 yard = 27 cu. ft = approx. 14 bags
14 bags with this deal = $28
1 yard bulk delivered = $55

I can get it down to $46/yard if I order 4 yards but that's still way more expensive, and how long will that pile be blocking my driveway?

Double check the recommendations from those recycling companies. Ones around here will give you a certain amount for free (+$10-20 for truck delivery) but say they're not to be used for planter beds.

That mulch is FULL of weed seedlings what a mess it will be in a few months

Quote from Blahzz :
Mulch is not mulch. Both of these store bought mulch are literal trash. You will find construction debris inside of it and it breaks down fast.

Do yourself a huge favor and spend a little more and get mulch delivered by the yard or even better, if you have a truck pick it up.

For those of you that only need a bag or two you're probably fine but the quality is seriously trash.

The triple shred breaks down even faster. I just got a pallet from TSC and at $2 per bag it was less than half the price of delivered mulch. Not quite as nice, but easier to spread and a way better value.

So the scots is 1.5 cu ft. Which is better?
well if you were smart you wouldn't buy any of the colored mulch and only get natural. The inorganic arsenic content is insane in color mulch! It leaches into the gound water and also runs off into local bodies of water. Red has the highest levels.

I agree with this statement, unfortunately it took too long to realize. Been using this mulch for 5 years. Last year, I noticed excess moss throughout my lawn, I have a small area of moss that has been contained for almost 25yrs. Completely killed my grass. The only thing that changed was using this junk. I bet they are cutting down sick trees, then using it as mulch. Well it completely messed up my lawn. Horrible product.

It's twice as expensive - does it last twice as long? Since it's hardwood, maybe it does, but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has used it.

I prefer Lowe's over HD any day. The staff is much more helpful than the turds at HD.
What are your reasons to prefer HD over Lowe's?
It really depends on your local store. HD here has always been better for having more knowledgeable workers. In the last 2 years or so, Lowes has really been cutting costs (at least from what I've seen locally) so lines are long, there aren't many workers on the floor, etc.

Cardboard. Lay it out. Wet it down good. Prevents weeds coming from the bottom. Throw the mulch over it. Should last about 3 years and decompose back in to organic matter. Keep the mulch going on top. The mulch keeps new weeds from the top.

I did this last year. Saved every box I got from packages/Amazon. Laid it down over a 20 x 70 foot area (making a garden) and covered with soil from bags I ordered (pallet). Looks good and kills anything under it. Pulled up a pile I left and it was mostly decomposed and tons of worms under it.

I also used this mulch last year. Had no issues with it and nothing inside of it. Still in place and looks decent too. Going to top off this year again. I am ok with mulch breaking down, it makes the clay useable after a few years. In the garden areas where we've been using mulch for years, the soil is so nice.

I find bagged is easier to manipulate than having a pile sitting in your yard.

Saw someone using a fork at a mulch giveaway. was curious about that.

I was referring to this type of shovel.
https://www.harborfreight.com/alu...69824.html

Nope.

I have that shovel actually.... that exact shovel. Shovels are horrible for mulch unless you can scoop out of a flat, smooth-bottomed metal container like the bed of a truck. Mulch is not something you can shovel like snow or dirt - you're going to be killing yourself doing that. Using a fork is MUCH more efficient.

Of course, when it comes down to cleaning up an area - e.g. a tarp if you've dumped it on your lawn, or a driveway or whatnot, a big, light-ended shovel will work - even a snow shovel will work. for the bulk of the work you'll want a fork though., This guy shows how much better a fork will be [youtube.com].
