From our city's free mulch web page:

"For example, after leaves are collected at curbside, they are treated and
offered to the public as compost. Holiday trees are sent through a wood
chipper and converted into mulch; a material perfect for flowerbeds or
other
landscaping projects (note: mulch is not suitable for vegetable gardens)."

Why is it not suitable for vegetable gardens?

You never know what you will get from the government, so I prefer to
make my own compost and mulch. Beware of "free" handouts.


To make as much mulch as I needed, I'd have to put entire trees through a
chipper.
