Default Which type of Mulch to use?

Norm
Where do you live? I have been looking for a similar type of service in
my area (NW Sydney), without much luck. I would love to find somewhere
that does this.
Cheers

I've been using the mulch from our local tip. Our council shreds all the
green waste, piles it up, turns it, ages it, and sells it back as mulch. I
think it's fine and it's cheap. It costs $9.90 a box trailer load (or small
ute). I've been using it for three years now and no problems. It has done
wonders for our claggy soil....

Hi,

There are different types of Mulch you can get; Pea straw, Peat Mulch (and
feed), Cottage Mulch, Red Wood Mulch, Pine Bark Mulch, Opti Mulch, Garden
Mulch - just to list those available from Yarra Valley Water and a couple


of

others I saw at Bunnings on the weekend.

This amount of choice indicates that they do different things, or are of
different value, so how do you choose which type of mulch to buy?
