dyzzypyxxy said:My pleasure, and you're right about the lava rock btw. It's not a good mulch because it heats up, and thus doesn't do the cooling, moisture retention, and natural breakdown that the wood chip mulch does. You'll love working with the Florimulch. It's really great stuff and smells nice too. (I think it does anyway) Spread your mulch fairly thick, because it does settle somewhat, and of course insulates better if it's 2 or 3in. thick as well.
Yes about 3 inches is what they recommend but for me 2 is fine , beats rocks .
I picked up 6 bags and it won't be enough but that was all they had , however I found Lowes pretty user-friendly as far as the manager said he would order more because it sells and by next Sat it should be there .
They also had a couple bags colored variety but I didn't want those as didn't want to different looks .
I suspect for now I wont get more than a 1/4 inch coverage but its a start and I'll get more next Sat and finish it up as pouring the mulch and spreading it is the easy part.
Removing all those rocks which will go in the green trash bin is going to be a pain , lol but I'm about to do it .
I'm surprised this melaleuca tree has spread to the point that this company has been able to build a mulch business around it , in other words must be tons of these tree's .
Thanks
