I received a email this morning warning me about the mulch supply this year. This link was included in the email:

From what the email said, the mulch will be showing up at Lowes and Home Depot. Anyone hear anything about it?? I usually hire a landscaper to do our mulch as we use TONS of it and it takes us a couple of days to put it down. They bring a crew and have it done with all the trimming and clean up in a couple of hours. Now I am worried!! I wouldn't think they would use it??

You're welcome.
I go to the "What's New" section at
Snopes.com every couple of weeks to try to keep up with this stuff.
