MULCHES
- Regular Brown
Mulch - Medium Grade, Double Shredded slab wood
(mostly oak). It has a rugged/coarser appearance than the bark
and sifted mulch. It contains wood, making it a
dark brown color. Longer lasting than finer mulches and more
resistant to "washing" in heavy rain. Decomposes slower than
finely shredded mulch. This is the most popular and
sells the most. As with all natural mulch, sun fading occurs over
time. (If you have gotten this mulch in the past...expect to see something
more rugged than you're used to getting.)
- Brown
Sifted Mulch - Better Grade. Same as the Brown
Mulch except it has been screened to remove the larger
pieces. It is as fine as the Bark, but not as dark. It is
more consistent in texture than the coarser regular brown mulch. Some describe it as "Triple Shredded". It does decompose
faster than the coarser mulches above. As with all
natural mulch, sun fading occurs over time. A beautiful natural mulch that
you won't be disappointed with. My personal favorite.
- Bark Mulch -
Better Grade. Finely ground,
all hardwood bark (mostly oak). Some people
call this "triple ground". Because of it's fine consistency
and being mostly bark, it decomposes quicker than other mulches. Bark
is almost black when first laid and when wet but fades to a grayish color as
the sun fades it. As
with all natural mulch, sun fading occurs over time.
- Dyed Red, Black or
Brown -
Environmentally safe, shredded and dyed. This mulch is not made from
recycled pallets or construction debris. Color will resist fading from the sun better than "natural" mulch. Lesson
learned...mulch will wash out if it's put down before or during rain!
- Wood Chips -
All wood chips approx 1 ½ inches, no bark. Doesn't pack down like mulch and
provides a natural "cushion". Larger pieces stay out of kids
clothes and keep Mommy happier. Great for covering muddy pet areas and
pedestrian walks. Does not meet ASTM F1292 - 09 Standard Specification for
Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of Playground
Equipment...But hold on (coming soon, to a mulch yard near you).

- "Dump" Mulch & Compost - The
Washington County Landfill produces a cost effective alternative to those
who need large volumes of mulch to cover a big area. The mulch and
compost is a low quality and has some trash mixed in, but is sold by the ton
and relatively inexpensive. I will pick up and deliver the mulch for
you. 10 yards weighs 3 - 4 tons. I charge by the hour for my
truck (1hr minimum) Click on Equipment for Hire.
- Mushroom
Dirt - Sometimes called mushroom mulch. An organic
combination of soil, manures and hay. Makes an excellent
soil conditioner/ fertilizer for gardens and flower
beds. (Google Mushroom Mulch for additional information)
SOILS
- Top
Soil - Raw
top soil that has not been screened. It can contain clumps, roots and
rocks (not boulders).
- Screened
Top Soil - I sift my topsoil through a 3/8 inch
screen, so it's free of clumps and other debris. It's
really nice to work with when compared to regular
unscreened topsoil.
Some uses include resurfacing a poor lawn before
replanting, filling in along driveways and making raised
gardens.
- Garden
Blend - Screened topsoil mixed 2:1 with a rich manure based compost.
FIREWOOD
- Firewood
- I custom cut all of my firewood here on the farm.
Trees are dead standing timber. Seasoned
(dead for a minimum of 12 months) Mixed hardwoods including oaks, ash,
hickory, elm and locust. 18"-
20" long and split. Supply is
limited.
