Source and Transport Mulch

What happens here

The presenter shares his method for acquiring large quantities of free mulch: obtaining wood chips from tree cutting companies that work on power lines. He encourages viewers to ask such companies if they have a place to dump their chips, suggesting it's a great way to get free mulch for their garden or yard. For those with smaller needs or without access to large truckloads, he advises visiting local hardware stores or garden centers to purchase untreated garden mulch or garden soil. He strongly warns against using treated mulch, which is often used for landscaping around houses, as it contains chemicals to deter pests like bugs and termites that can also harm beneficial insects, microbes, and worms essential for healthy soil building.

Goal: Obtain untreated wood chips or garden mulch for use in the garden.
