I Love NEW MULCH

[studiovette]

Looks amazing! I find that the big box store mulch is too Barky and doesn't look good by mid summer while the compost type retains its color and moisture much longer. This was my pond last year with black compost mulch. Plan on getting mine done next weekend. Hopefully lol

Hey our Home Depot did the same! 6/10$ what a deal. I usually boycott Home Depot when it comes to gardening items, because they throw away tons of plants all the time. And they are not "allowed" by store policy to sell them at a marked down, they have to dump them which is ridicules!! Yesterday I was picking up the mulch and they had one of those flat carts FULL of plants they were dumping. When I asked them why they were throwing them away, I was told they were " too leggy"
What the heck?!? Too leggy? And half of them were perinneals, it's a shame.

That's horrible they do that !!! I get a lot of my deals on the markdown rack I find the ones that need work a challenge as with many bonsai that I work with

It is probably part of the contract they have with their vendor, that does not allow them to mark them down. Other places are like that as well not just HD.

Looks great! Our Home Depot always marks down plants to clear them out. Great time to buy material to train. Is the shade cloth for sun on your display shelf or for wind?

Looks good. I see you partake in the art of bonsai. Look like some really old trees on your deck.
