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?

This is not 100% true. If I call my local nursery I am not getting the same trash that HD is outsourcing to. The nursery doesn't have the same production capability to support big box chains and often comes in at the same prices (minus some sales like this one).
Where are you getting your information from?

I'd get it right from the statement on the bag, "...locally made".

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.
Earthgro does not contain construction materials. It is also $1.98 at HD.

Is there something funky going on with the rubber mulch? It seems 3-4x more expensive than it did last year.

For those of you that only need a bag or two you're probably fine but the quality is seriously trash.
FACTS - I found a huge rock in one of my bags of mulch I bought last year. Also, some I didn't use have trees growing from themEEK!

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.
Yup - I did the cardboard and my little plot of land has barely any weeds, while my neighbor's plot is weed city!

Saw the sale and got to HD early this AM to get my 20 bags. Could barely wheel it through the parking lot to my car. Just unloaded the bags at home, and then had to mop up the brown mulch juice that pooled in the car. Didn't use gloves for any of this, and the hands still smell of mulch even after a shower. Ah, spring.

Purchased 5 as a trial to see how it compares to Scott's deal from tractor supply.
Overall the size and color looks about the same. Though the vigoro brand has a stronger barn smell.
Wonder if HD 10% off on 30+ vigoro bags applies with this current promo.

1 yard = 27 cu ft
You need 13.5x 2 cu ft bags to equal 1 yard

So, in a way I'm helping local people and no plastic I guess? Hope the shipping charges are not too outrageous for the local guys. I don't have a truck, all I have is a sedan.
