Tip #1: When loading mulch (sand, gravel, etc) into your truck, put a tarp down first… it makes clean-up a snap and allows you to either (1) pull out a load of mulch onto the ground in one fell swoop or (2) get that last wheelbarrow full of material by rolling up and dumping the tarp.
Tip #2: Check out EcoMulch… the load of mulch above costs $8 ($29/cubic-yard… this is 1/4 yard). This is the "mini — while the "mini" is a bit fine, the "large" is a bit large for my tastes — at least this grinding (I'm sure it varies a bit). It's processed locally… therefore has a lower carbon footprint vs. mulch shipped from Oregon.
