Our local tip does this, and sells the compost back to the public. They
have restrictions on what they will take (no noxious weeds) but it is
still very much a policy which relies on honesty. Our garden centre does
the same, but their mulch seems to produce far more weeds than the tip
mulch which I have used for the last 2 years. It also breaks down
quickly, even though it has shredded eucalypt branches in it. The local
council uses this stuff for landscaping projects and mulching areas that
they are revegetating.
I'm planning on ordering a truck load this week, so I can mulch the
areas I'm weeding. The irises seem happy with this mulch.
Cheers, Jan
