Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us

Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.

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.


OH ICK! AAAAKK!! Yucky, old, rotting, moldy mulch. Do NOT under any
circumstances risk your health or that of your garden by even opening
those bags. Really, I'm warning you for your own good, no matter what
these other people tell you. You must crate them up immediately and ship
the whole lot directly to me so that I can properly dispose of them for
the greater good. I am old, very old and really decrepit, probably pretty
sick too. I will sacrifice myself to save you from a horrendous fate.
Trust me on this, I wouldn't lie to you.

So.... ummmmmmm, are you convinced, ya want my address? ~blink,blink~
