It’s the perfect time to get outside and work on your landscape. Mulch is a very important material that promotes health plants and garden. Mulch reduces weeds, helps retain moisture, and improve the health of your soil.
Many people may not think much about where they purchase their landscape mulch, but it can make all the difference. First, it’s quality and second, cost savings.
Quality
The quality of the mulch is very important. When you purchase bulk mulch you can see exactly what you get. The mulch in the bag is often hidden by the logo and information on the bag. It could have gotten wet and started to mold or maybe not the exact color you were looking for. The pretty packaging can end up costing you in lower quality mulch
Buying in bulk is also better for the environment. It would take 140 bags just to cover 10 yards of mulch. That’s 140 bags you have to carry, heavy plastic to cut open, empty, and then having to dispose of all those bags.
You would be very surprised to find out what exactly is in some bagged mulch at many stores. From construction byproducts to toxic and hazardous materials. When you buy mulch in bulk from a local supplier, they will have custom blends for your specific needs. You can see and smell the freshness between mulch in bulk and bagged
Save Money
The biggest reason to purchase mulch in bulk is to save money. Typically it will end up costing half as much if you purchase in bulk, compared to individual bags at the store. Even small projects will end up saving you money.
Instead of going to the store and lugging the bags onto the cart, then into your car, then out of the car, cutting them open, and then spreading them in your landscape. Bulk mulch is usually delivered to you, which mean you just have to spread it in your yard, that’s it!
Environmental Impact
The environmental impact of buying mulch in bulk is tremendous. All those plastic bags associated with bagged mulch won’t end up in the landfill.
You also won’t have to worry about any hazardous toxic or construction materials in your landscape or garden
