No going around to Lowe's and get them loaded/unloaded.
FWIW, we had some heavy rains this week in the metro NYC area and the new Lowe's brown mulch I put down last weekend is already faded. I don't mind that personally, but for those looking for color retention, it didn't.
But at this cost, you can't beat it even if it does have to be replaced annually.
I was reminded that I'm not 20 years old anymore - me
And manual don't get along so well anymore.

I think it just depends how full your beds are.

If you are using a "thin" layer and till it into the soil, the decomposition process gets sped up and adds nitrogen to the soil. That's kind of the concept of green manure. But if you have a thick layer (4-5 inches high) as mulch, it'll take much longer (years) to decompose without any carbon content. Decomposition or Composting process would need a lot of carbon. It'll eventually break down without it.
I had a few truck loads delivered to me about 8-9 years ago. I spread it all over my stones. I learned the hard way that it was killing my bushes. It rained after a few days and I had "dog puke" fungus all over the mulch. It all broke down after 4-5 years (almost a 8" high spread). Now I have all that good compost that is feeding even more weed !!
