  • All good replies with no more to add here. What I would like and probably Lenny as well, is something that looks like the bags of mulch you could buy at Home Depot, for example. Some coarser bark to help with weed controL, retain the soil moisture, beautify the landscape, and won't blow away at this time of the year.

    We have looked into wood chipping machines and not in our budget but with the right equipment, I believe there is a business opportunity.
    • Try gravel!

      • Hey Steve - that's a great solution if you have a small area to cover,you can get a truckload for around $250. Not the best when you have a bunch of property and need that gravel for roads, etc. that takes priority over planting beds. Thx.
  • Just about any carpentry shop will give you wood chips for free or a small price (bring your own bags!). I prefer all cedar because pine is more acidic, but haven't had a problem with the mixed pine "mulch" I use on the property. This wind has been blowing some of it away too, but keeping it wet has kept that down. That's about the best source for mulch. Although I was just told they sell it down in David somewhere, I was also told you'd pay $7/small bag of bark mulch.

  • how about waste hulls from a coffee processor?

  • Thanks to all for your input. Thanks for the offer but I am able to obtain pine needles. And I already checked into the rice hulls from Tia Maria. The problem with the rice hulls is that they are so light much would just blow away during our windy season. However, my research has indicated that rice hulls would work as a soil amendment after being composted. I was wondering if there were any other options for mulch and organic soil admendments? Thanks again.

  •  Tia Maria has the rice hulls for free, just bring your own bag.

  • We have pine needle mulch at $1 per large garbage bag. You provide the bags and fill them up, all you want.
