Where to get Cypress?!?!?!

ColdBloodedEarth Mar 31, 2006 09:33 PM

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if getting cypress mulch at home depot or any other garden store is ok? Do I have to "Cook" it? Please let me. Thanks,

Nick

Lowe's maybe Home Depot...Wal-Mart even..K-Mart I don't think carries it........they have other stuff .......any garden center may have it......

some carry alot of cedar stuff..........and "hardwood" mulches.....I don't know what is in "hardwood" mulch...........

........keep looking..........Lowe's has it......$2.99 for 2 cu foot bags........

and NO you don't cook it .........

it tastes like crap..........even with garlic salt........

(I had to defrost it in the winter and you can open bag and let it dry out...it's usually damp....at times too damp....)

Don't use cypress or any other wood. Stick with paper, it's safer. It may not be as pretty and you can't spot clean it, but it's safer than any type of wood products.

This is just my humble opinion

I used to use the wood stuff but no more! I use blank newsprint for all my babies.
