Single-shred mulch
Hi, everyone.
I've been using the typical dark, shredded hardwood mulch throughout my yard and heard about another type of hardwood mulch that I'm interested in finding. The issues I have with what I'm using is that over time it compacts pretty densly and it washes away fairly easily. I'm not crazy about the bark chip type mulch that could be a replacement. Not too long ago I was told about a hardwood mulch that only goes through one shredding, as opposed to two which is what you find in the typical red shredded mulch or shredded hardwood mulch. The mulch isn't as finely shredded and won't compact down as much as the other stuff I've been using. Have any of you heard about or know where to get something like this? Thanks a bunch. rj |

Thanks a bunch. rj I don't, but some of the most awesome mulch I've seen lately is crushed pecan shells. They've been using them extensively at my work place now for about 5 years. They look amazing and last a very long time! I use home composted leaf mulch myself and upped the ante this year. As a result, I'm doing a LOT less weeding and I'm saving on water. -- Peace!
