I've been using bagged colored chipped mulch last couple of years due to ease of use with bag....

I'm back to Shredded Pine Bark Mulch. Can someone remind me, how slow or fast does this break down. If memory serves, it probably breaks down slightly less as fast as triple shreeded wood

It's been awhile but I gotta say, I do like going back to PBM - minus the whole wheeling and dumping thing...
