What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this mulch for its fine, triple-shredded texture, natural black appearance, and soil-enriching properties. Many highlight how it spreads easily, enhances flower colors, retains moisture, and breaks down into nutrient-rich soil over time. However, a growing number report recent quality decline, receiving bags filled with large wood chunks, rocks, and dirt instead of fine mulch. Despite these inconsistencies, most customers remain loyal, valuing its premium feel and long-term garden benefits.

Good bag of mulch
Would Recommendit is a nice bag of mulch, might lean a bit toward wood chips, but does have some decay as mulch. ground is fine, with a few large wood chunks. I decided to try bag mulch this year instead of a truck load since delivery charges are so high and I needed a thin top of mulch to cover some bare spots.

Dirt vs Mulch
The sole bag of black forest mulch consisted of top soil material with some rocks in it and not mulch as expected or similar to another bag purchased weeks prior.

Black Forest Mulch is the best
Would RecommendBlack Forest is by far the best mulch I have used. The texture and appearance and consistency is exceptionally good. It is a best buy for price and value.

bad loading caused bag holes of mulch
Had technical difficulty telling store that I was coming. So I went in person. Found bags thrown in a shopping cart, not a flat bed carrier. Consequently the mulch bags had holes in it. I found an employee outside to give me a hand putting it in my car and tipped him for his assistance Unfortunately it leaked all over the back because of the way that the bags were originally improperly loaded. I have to clean my car out with the vacuum cleaner even though I had a tarp.

Beware
Would Not RecommendThe bags were full of ants that got out in the trunk of my car and garage.

Pretty good
I like the texture, but sometimes I find large rocks in it. Sometimes it looks like a lot of saw dust is in it too- very light color as well. But overall I like this better than others.

Quality varies
Would Not RecommendNot like I remember from previous purchases

Natural, high quality mulch
Would Not RecommendI like the price for this level of quality of material. This is more so a composting type mulch. It’s going to turn into dirt pretty fast, which is what I want. I don’t like painted, chunky or bark ladened mulch. This doesn’t have that. Gives the flower bed a very natural look. The mulch does need replacing frequently (spring and fall) because it’s already partially decomposed.
