I love what I use - it's recycled pine bark mulch and part of it comes from old telephone poles. It isn't big it is rather small. Being dark brown it presents a nice contrast for the grass and landscaping planted inside of the areas it is in. It is small enough that I can also use it on top of the soil of potted plants.
I've got a chipper ..
so when I do my normal spring yardwork ..
and do the trimming and taking down trees that have been too stressed .. (or are showing they are not going to last much longer)
I'll chainsaw them down into smaller pieces ..
split even further if necessary ..
then chip the results and put down as mulch ..
(I'll also purchase natural chips .. for mulching the garden areas around my home. I don't like the dyes for my planting beds)
