Mulch Benefits
The best time for mulch installation to be done is in the early stages of spring or summer when the temperatures begin to rise.

Fall is also a good time for mulch installation keeping soil temperatures warmer and also giving your plants a head start to spring.

Great mulch, at a great price. Doesn’t have large pieces of wood sticks like mulch I have purchase previously in other stores. The mulch is finely shredded like I wanted. Will definitely purchase again.
