Terrible smell that attracts flies
Purchased from Lowe’s. The smell is so terrible. It’s embarrassing when neighbors complain about the smell. All of a sudden we have a fly infestation too.

Manure smell
Used the brown mulch and it smelled like manure. Thought maybe some got on the mulch bags in transit. Nope! I did one garden with this mulch across the yard, but it’s all I smell when I step outside.

Disappointed
I bought 15 bags of the Scott’s black color stay mulch from Home Depot. I was extremely disappointed in the product. There were so many large sticks and chips that you can’t really call it mulch. I will not buy again

Lots of MOLD:wouldn’t let me post pictures
I bought 4 bags of this on Saturday 9/28/24 and on 10/1/24 got 10 more bags little did I know 9 out of the 10 had mold in them. I used this in my daycare play area. At this point I have to remove all mulch! At almost $5.00 per bag might not sound like a lot, but in fact it adds up quickly. Sad part is I’m sure I’ll just have to cut my losses! Very discouraged and unhappy! 😖
