So after a few weeks I return to HD to get more mulch.....yup you ot it...They are out for the season. I figure no problem...I will get it in the spring.
Spring arrives and I go down to HD to get the same mulch....no can do says the little HD man. We don't carry it anymore. So I spend the time to find the company on the web (I can remember the brand). I call them and they tell me that they just bag it under another name...and is still being sold by HD. Problem solved!!!!????? After picking up a sample, (jees that looks red I think) at HD, I compare it to the mulch that is already there....yup you guessed it ...it does not match. It's too red. I call back the manufacturer and find out that thy have changed the color. I ask if thy have any left over from last year and sure enough they do.
Jackie tells me that she will give me a deal on the stuff....thy can't do anything with it either. She's gonna sell their stuff to me for $5 a bag plus shipping. I agree and finally figure that I should ask how much is 5-6 yards.......160 bags.....2 pallets....no wonder it was costing me $300 a year to mulch with wood.
More of the saga later.
