And back on track...
Thanks Frank!
I went with this mulch for my Mom's place. I simply couldn't beat the price. Similar product (stained brown hardwood) was $40/yd. in bulk (retail) taxed OTD in my pickup bed. Used my Lowes card (that I keep a zero balance on most of the time) and got 25 2' bags loaded for under $51. They knocked off the tax at .10 a bag for using their card. Sadly I was throwing 3 bags to every 2 the young employees were handling, not much to say about the work ethic of today's youngsters...
FWIW the "regular" mulch folks I've dealt with for 20 years have knocked all bagged product down to 1.2' "gas station" bags. I remember 3' bags being the "standard". Difficult to man-handle, especially when soaking wet. Just like the old school 4' bales of peat, the bag gets smaller and the price wins a little more every year.
This was a bargain. 1.85 cubic yards for $51, no complaints here! I've used it before and for the price I'm very pleased. And the beds will look good and the plants a little happier.
