One year we requested a truckload of wood chips and were very unhappy with what we received--we got fairly large chunks of wood, not the finely chipped stuff you buy in bags. We ended up using it under bushes as it was too big and ugly to use as garden mulch. Word of warning–our city picks up homeowners’ branches, chips them, and offers free delivery of wood chips.

It 10 cubit feet of mulch per truck. I have a giant vegetable garden, a big flower patch, an herb/citrus garden, and next year I am going to start landscaping the backyard, which means I will need even more mulch. The is also the back path behind out garage. If we have any extra, as I mentioned, we will store them in garbage cans. I need a lot of mulch.
