cedar mulch question

| Mulch question.
I'm buying mulch in bulk for our beds. If they call it cedar mulch is it the same as cedar bark mulch or different? I would imagine it's the bark that gets used for mulch and the rest for wood products.
Also I'm wondering if the mulch in local garden centers is all about the same stuff. I would imagine their aren't too many suppliers. The reason I'm wondering is that there are big differences in price and I'd like to think the $34 kind is the same as the $40 kind. I do use free town chips for some beds. I'm not completely nuts. |

A couple of years ago, I bought and compared a few different wood mulches and found they were not the same. Some have large splinters of wood and are shredded from pallets.
The type I prefered was carried by Sears and Fairfield Gardens at the time and the name...Southsomething. I will try to remember.
Anyway, if you care, its worth getting samples. I did because I used it on a path and it had to be soft for little feet. |
