Haha..... *eye twitches*

Yes.

omg the mods have come out of hiding o_0

I guess I am wrong, but I consider mulch as organic materials from trees or bushes or from food all decomposing in a compost bin. If it was 100% animal feces I'd call it fertilizer.

usually don't they just call horse shit manure? cause yeahh I always thought mulch was organic materials like wood chips... so I learned something today!!:P

*awaiting Sirin's sarcasm pwning everyone on thread simultaneously*

Mulch is mostly wood chips and material from trees and brush. Compost is made from grass leaves,manure and all the other stuff.

I work at the garden center at Wal-Mart. While I can't argue with the dictionary definition of mulch, the stuff we sell doesn't contain anything except plant matter, typically bark and/or shavings from one specific type of tree. We also sell "Organic Hummus and Manure" separately, but that's the only literal shit that I'm aware that we sell. Our fertilizer may also be made from fecal matter, but unlike manure, I'm pretty sure it's not just plain shit. We also have rubber mulch. WTF?

The mulch you buy at a Landscaping store, Lowes, whatever, is aged and shredded bark, a byproduct of paper-making. I've never heard of commercially available mulch that wasn't made from bark. Oh btw I work at a Nursery. i'm not just talking out of my ass =). they are right though, any material that's used to cover bedding plants to prevent weed growth and retain water is considered mulch, just as any organic material used as fertilizer is technically manure. Hell, you can use newspaper or strips of plastic as mulch.

You need to work on your timing. This one was just a little late!

I believe now is the time to say "doesn't matter had sex"
