Other than making sure you get the red kind ( ) what kind of mulch do you use? Where do you usually get it? Is it worth it paying for a mulch from a garden center, as opposed to Lowe's or Home Depot?

| I buy bagged hardwood mulch from a landscaping supply place, a whole pallet delivered. I’ve never seen the point in paying more for other varieties. I always put down a layer of Leafgro and then add mulch over it. |
| Home Depot. Cedar because it resists mold a bit. |
| Is it time for the mulch moutains to make its appearance again? |

Doughnuts not mountains!
You can mulch with any organic matter. I mulch with straw "fortified" by my chickens' presence. You can mulch as much as you want. |
Except we will see mountains. And islands made around every single tree as if trees in nature all have islands around them. |
| I order mine from the local high school sale each year. I get fine pine if they have it, basic hardwood mulch if not. |
| I order mine from the local boy scouts. They let you pick between three options. It's delivered right to my driveway. |

When are you mulching? Is it too soon?
City delivery for mulch doesn't start until first week of April! |
| I like the mini pine bark nuggets. They last longer than the shredded mulch. I get it from Home Depot. When I've bought mulch I try to buy from the local high school sale or, if I miss that, then HD. |
+1 But I don’t know what kind it is other than “brown”. |
