Default Year Old Bagged Mulch

Hi,

*I have about 8 bags of Scott's Mulch (red colored) that I bought last
summer. They were extra bags tha I didn't use at that time. They have
been sitting outside in the backyard since then. Is it okay to use
them now (after about 10 months)? Could there be any problems with
mold or fungus? Would that be something clearly visible?

Thanks. *

G.M.


yeah, i think inspection should tell you all you need to know. if it's
all gunky and rotting, it's headed for compost. if it still looks like
mulch, then it's good. nothing invisible or unseen lurking after a
year ready to spring out that wasn't there a year ago.
