3po3 on Apr 11, 2012Also check craigslist. The only problem is that it's not necessarily weed-free, and it's not typically as uniform or attractive as the commercial stuff.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Apr 12, 2012I would check with the county as well. Ours often has free mulch available, although it does vary in quality.Helpful Reply

JESTONECIPHER on Jun 29, 2015I was told by a tree person not to use these chips/mulch from felled trees. Many of the trees taken down are due to disease and you can actually spread those diseases to your own trees.Helpful Reply
