We had that same sake recently, too. I was behind on ordering in bulk so I went with bags this year. I'm not pleased with the quality from the brand they had on sale. It was too chunky and weeds are popping up through it! I wish I had ordered my fine, pulverized mulch in bulk. Plus wheel barrowing it in and using a shovel is easy less tedious fir me that lifting this heavy bags over and over and over again. Maybe I just didn't have the technique down but I prefer shivering it from a mountain.. And I love the smell! My bashed stuff didn't smell!
