Costly Mulch.

20 years ago

I've been planting a very large space that came in with an estimate from a nursery as needing at least 200 bags of mulch. I want brown and not red for a more natural, woodsy look. I bought a couple of bags of eucalyptus, shredded, at Home Depot and spread it around some of my flowers to see the look. I sprinkled a few pine bark nuggets on top and, wow, that's what I want. Problem is, each bag of both are almost $3.00 at HD and Lowe's. Too much. So I bought a $1.69 bag of cypress, shredded, and placed it in another spot. Ugly, ugly. I had to rake all of it off. I have been calling around to nurseries for a better price but haven't found much lower than Home Depot. Anyone around zone 10b have any ideas? Thank you.
