It's fairly expensive. I'd just got with the cheapest mulch like ramial wood chips from the branches that tree trimmers cut down along the power lines and throwing them into wood chipper. It's free and tend to be good stuff. Next choice would be "native" mulch which is aged wood chips and it's fairly cheap. I got Native mulch from LETCO in Houston for my mom's plant beds if I couldn't find free wood chips from tree trimmers.

Sure you can, Cedar is my favorite type!!
