were do you get your cypress mulch

Home Depot usually. Occasionally from Lowes. The Home Depot here keeps their mulch outside so for fear of little critters in it, I open the bags and dry them out in the sun and I treat my tubs/cages with Provent-a-mite before putting new mulch in. The biggest problem that I have had is mold. Some bags seem more prone to mold than others.
