Pine needles would be nice, I'm sure.
I don't remember that particular spiel, but Don was always delivering spiels.
Mango Mulch seems to be the favorite up here. It's a local product, but it's carried by retailers outside our county. Here's what the manufacturer says about it:
"It doesn’t have any mangos in it, but it does have horse and cow manure to supply basic nutrients; grape and apple pomace which are high in beneficial bacteria and yeasts to aid with the breakdown of organic matter; rice hulls and straw for good soil tilth; soft rock phosphate and greensand to boost the phosphorous and potassium. We blend and compost these ingredients in an aerobic process."
It's only $49 a yard from Grab 'n' Grow, the manufacturer, so I think I'll order a yard or two.
