Contaminated Mulch

[jinman]

I got the email and it really gave me a good laugh. It said we should all not buy mulch at Home Depot and Lowes. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif What kind of "deathwish" would it take for those two corporations to sell termite contaminated mulch? They would have to want to commit corporate suicide to do such a silly thing. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

...and if you were a person in the business of mulching tons of pine bark and cypress, don't you think you might locate yourself somewhere close to a sawmill instead of a stinking flooded city with very few trees compared to forested areas? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But hey! I'm going to be on the safe side and buy all my mulch at Wal*Mart since they weren't mentioned in the email. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yep, I got that e-mail, too. Sure glad I'm not in the market for any mulch this year. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

That's why I've alway's wondered why so many cedar trees have woodpecker holes in them... and when you cut those trees down the ants come running out of them. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Fortunately for me it would take a pretty big bag to hold the mulch for any project I've undertaken. It's been many years, but I always preferred to drive down to the sawmill and load my pickup.
