Bagged Mulch or Bulk Mulch? Which one is right for me? Simply put, the decision to buy bulk or bagged mulch depends on price vs. convenience! In general, bulk mulch will cost a bit less.

Corn Gluten is an all-natural by-product of the production of corn starch. It prevents the establishment of weeds and supplies a source of organic nitrogen. Nitrogen promotes green growth in lawns and the nitrogen in corn gluten is slow released and long-lasting. Corn gluten prevents the roots of seedling weeds from developing. Without root formation, the weed dies from a lack of water since roots deliver water to the rest of the weed.

How To Celebrate National Strawberry Day Bonnie's Garden How did strawberries get their name? No one knows for sure, but the most widely accepted story is, because strawberries spread profusely by runners, after a couple of years, the fields look "strewn" with berries.
