🌞Summer heat stress is hard on plants🪴The #1 thing you can do to support your garden is adding a layer of mulch, or refreshing the one you already have🪵

Visit our Bulk Yard for Fir Bark, Shredded Redwood & Almond Wood Chips. Available in 2-cubic-foot bags or by the half-cubic-yard if you have a pickup truck to carry the load. Not sure how much mulch you need? Use the Mulch Calculator on our Bulk web page. Link in Comments🔗
