used to cost me around 20-25 yard now im seeing 35 and up!
If you don't have a truck, some places bag/bale them
That being said, this is a good price for what you're getting.
I don't care enough to worry too much about it. I see it like annual flowers, you're going to have some that work, some that don't, and you'll have to replace every year.
I need to kill some weeds with roundup, nasty stuff but it works. At least it will be under mulch now. Preen pre emergent is usually recommended too. others might use newspaper or cardboard underneath.
I may take my trailer and see if I can get a pallet loaded. Wonder how many to a pallet, I could easily use 40 on two jobs.
Now the cheapest mulch overall would probably be wood branches from your own property which you shred yourself with a shredder/mucher instead of burning or hauling away; wood is free aside from elbow grease, and of course the upfront cost of the shredder/mulcher, about $100 which would be good investment.
Most mulch is processed at least twice to get the particle size small enough. I have an HF chipper shredder [harborfreight.com] that's now $600 (I think I paid more like $380 new), and what comes out of that is nothing like what anyone would consider mulch. It's a lot like the "mulch" you can typically get for free at a transfer station - coarse, pieces are long, etc. I haven't tried double passing the material but that's in essence what is done to size reduce the mulch you buy for landscaping. Plus it takes a long time.

There is no "central" mulch processing facility that sends bags all over the country - instead there are regional processing centers. If you live in CA you probably shouldn't be taking what someone from FL says about their mulch to heart, because even though the bags at HD might look the same, the mulch is coming from 2 different places.
Was told by the HD staff that Vigoro is not as nice.
Any thoughts?
Every year you prune, shred the twigs and branches, and you not only you have new mulch to top off the old one, but you clean up the yard. Yes, they decompose faster, but that's not necessarily a bug, instead it is a feature, as they turn into soil organic matter to feed the plants (for free.)
