Effing shrinkflation.

Remember when these were 2cf for the same price? Pepperidge Farms sure does.

Lowes bags are 2 cf vs HD's 1.5 cf

Lowes been running that for the past week.

I have seen folks who have no plants add mulch next to their external wall. Whats the purpose of adding mulch adjacent to external wall? Isnt it bad, since mulch retains water/moisture and cause moisture to be absorb closer to house?

Really? Great? Does anyone know what it's like to try and earn money this way and then add on hauling someone else's mulch in their vehicle? Yes. You have a right. But what about the responsibility not to treat other people this way?

You act like someone is being duped into doing this. Taking the order is the choice of the Doordasher whether they want to (or can, for space reasons) take it or not. No one is "treating" anyone "this way". It's the choice of the person delivering the stuff whether they want to do it or not.

Depends on your climate, but you want your soil to be average in terms of moisture so your foundation don't shift. My guess is you're in a dry area, especially during drought prone period, or your city meters your water usage, so the mulch helps retains that moisture and prevents the soil from cracking.

Or it could just be cosmetic or not wanting to mow up close to the house.

The Lowe's mulch isn't very good. I put some in my backyard. After it rained heavily for two days, the color washed right off the mulch. Instead of dark brown, it's now raw wood and light brown. Guaranteed for 12 months? Has anyone tried to get a refund on their mulch guarantee?

I had this exact same problem several years ago. I put a line of new brown mulch down next to the faded stuff. Took pics showing the extreme difference as well as the whole area I'd mulched, and went back to Lowe's.
Told them they needed to honor the color guarantee and showed my receipt for 70+ bags that I'd just bought a few days prior.
There was some back and forth with the manager, but he eventually DID provide the full refund.
I haven't bought the Lowe's mulch since as I feel it's sub-standard compared to the Earthgro.

The ability to suppress weeds seems questionable when it comes to compost? Have you had good luck with it?

I question why they say mulch can suppress weeds. Any medium that is used to top a garden bed is victim to weeds unless you use a barrier or preemergent. For what it's worth, I'm speaking from years of experience and not an AI generated article.

On behalf of the author Nadia Hassani, I'm deeply offended that you would suggest she didn't thoroughly research her work 😂😂 What if you are merely a bot? 🤔

All I know is that when I mulch beds properly, I don't get weeds.

This deal has been on SD every spring since the beginning of the internet.

All I know is that mulch has a bunch of chemicals and dyes in it and I'd rather have an organic garden.

Since you know, can you tell me which chemicals and what type/formulation of dye is used?

It's hard to answer that question, because manufacturers use different dye based on the colors. I would be more concerned with the material the mulch is made up of. Most of this recycled wood has creosote present in it as a preservative. A majority of these recycled wood is sourced from pallets. Pallets can be carrying perfectly safe baby diapers or toxic materials. Pallets live a rough life. Sitting in dirty warehouses, back of trucks, have fluids leak on them, sit next to the road for weeks. I could keep going but you get the idea. Just throwing black compost out there as a safer option.
