not worth the money

it looks nice but it does not block weeds as it's marketed too and charge extra for.

Worth the few extra $$

Helps reduce pesky weeds in my parking strip. I weed, spread granuar preen, then this as a top dressing. Works well.

Good mulch

Would Recommend

What i like about the product is weed control. I tried rubber mulch nd it was easy to go back to this due to the less chances of weeds coming through in the flower bed

Does not slow down or stop grass in your bedding

Would Not Recommend

Allows tons of grass to grow. Grass may not be a weed but just as difficult to remover from bedding

DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME PRODUCT!

Would Not Recommend

Last year this was an outstanding product, NOT THIS YEAR! Last year the mulch was small quarter to 50 cent pieces. NOT THIS YEAR! This year there are very large chunks in this mulch making it look like the cheapest single run trash mulch you can buy. The only thing nice is the chestnut color; no one else has this.

worst mulch i think I ever bought. it had 4" pieces of wood, broom handle piece, plywood, and bits of carpet. I bought for the weed control. I didn't know i needed to break out the wood shredder. also some of the mulch was dry and brown vs.others that were wet and black. (same pallet, bought black)
