    been that price for at least a week at my local bunnings

    still the same poor quality mix ad mulch as before - cheap for a good reason but mix is good for mixing into soil and mulch for areas where fines won't be an issue

        • EightImmortals on 07/05/2017 - 07:42

          You make jokes now…….just give it a year or two.

          There are already plant police in the U.S. persecuting people who have the 'wrong' lemon trees or have their veges planted in the 'wrong' part of their yard according to local 'councils'. :) (I kid you not)

          I got tazered for pruning my hedge once.

          @EightImmortals: A lemon date tree; I can see that being certainly a by-law offence. I know that police are watching Pine trees closely for drug offences, as they always seem to drop their needles.

          Ill go now.

          Hirsute anus, I think. Not sure whether pruning there, or tazered there!

    The potting mix is termite bait!

    Was a nightmare for our garden!

    1 cubic metre of dry wood chips weighs approximately 380kg
    22 litres of dry wood chips weighs approximately 8.36kg

    45.45. bags to a cubic metre.

    $2 per bag

    So buying a cubic metre of these equates to $90.9

    Buy this instead.

    It's delivered and termite resistant :)

    And if it wasn't for @OP for posting this "deal", I wouldn't be any the wiser to this, so big ups to you BuzzLightyear :)

      Thanks for the post, sometimes I think it's a good buy coz of the +votes from Ozbargain, but I'm also conscious too many Ozbargain deals people just click the like button without any knowledge of the product.

      086: your link takes us through to your individual session. Showed us how much soil and mulch you already had in your shopping cart

    • ozbpro10 on 07/05/2017 - 07:46

      Two different products. I prefer the 'pine bark' look, but good to have a different option. It's probably be a better (not sure if cheaper) than the sugar cane mulch.

    • CVonC on 07/05/2017 - 17:57

      Any similar alternative recommendation for the potting mix?

  • Milkywayss on 07/05/2017 - 08:35

    Although cheap, this is horrible quality and wouldn't use it again for a potting mix

    • tissue on 07/05/2017 - 10:12

      Advice I got from Bunnings is you need to mix with a fertiliser like dynamic lifter or blood and bone.

      Still cheap even if you mix it, decent potting mix is around $10/bag.

      I just picked up half a dozen bags of mix for a planter box.

        Advice I got from Bunnings

        The only good advice you ever get from Bunnings is which way to the exit.

          Or which way is the toilet… ;)

          @BuzzzLightyear:

          It's Bunnings, I just use one of the aisles, usually in the plant section.

        • captobvious on 07/05/2017 - 19:22

          @Scab: organic fertiliser?

      • DJ-Studd on 07/05/2017 - 10:42
        +4

        I mix it in equal parts with Bunnings' $3.95 Cow Manure Blend, and $3.95 Richgro compost.
        Maintain with Seasol and Powerfeed. You could add some blood and bone also.

        • sirs2k on 07/05/2017 - 21:16

          Don't forget to add some molasses and if you can "worm tea".

          Throw in a fish tank air stone and let it bubble for a day or two

        • DJ-Studd on 08/05/2017 - 09:19
          +1

          @sirs2k:

          Yep, actively aerated compost tea is the way to go, but let's keep it simple for now ;)
          And you're spot on, molasses should be added every time you add any fertiliser to feed the microbes!
          (Teaming with Microbes is the book to read!)

  • [Deactivated] on 07/05/2017 - 09:08

    I've used the bark for my courtyard and it's still going strong 2 years later. It was the larger stuff would def buy again.

    Buying in bulk is great but if you only have small area this is good value.

  • pramki on 07/05/2017 - 10:19

    Oakleigh south doesn't have this product. As usual a rude response that this product is not available from staff.

    • montorola on 07/05/2017 - 11:34

      Lol how did they say it in a rude way? (just curious)

      • D3m3ntia on 07/05/2017 - 16:43

        "this product isn't available here" - yours truly, ex-Dick Smith employee.

  • draistlin on 07/05/2017 - 11:40

    Anyone have suggestions for bulk buying mulch in Melb?

    • Bad Wolf on 07/05/2017 - 13:34

      Google "sand and soil Melbourne"
      second on the list
      Garden mulch is listed

      Might have to call/visit a few for what specific tree mulch you need

    • [Deactivated] on 07/05/2017 - 19:46

      if you need 5 cubic meters or more you can try try https://www.mulchnet.com/

      They have free/paid services where tree loppers will deliver it to your address.

      I paid around $200 for 13 cubic meters as I didn't want to wait last time.

      I think the bigger mulch places sell $40-80/cubic meter excl delivery so it's a win-win for you and the tree lopper!

    • HeyThereJim on 07/05/2017 - 20:07

      Call tree lopers working in your area or even better if you see some working go up and ask them how much for a truckload of chipped wood. If they're already doing a job close by and they don't have someone/somewhere lined up to dump the stuff they should be happy to get rid of a truckload for $50-100. It can be a bit a little bit dicey as some may not tell you exactly what was cut up and chipped but most are good and will tell you.

  • captobvious on 07/05/2017 - 12:03

    did anyone else get a new variety of weeds after using this potting mix?

    Bear in mind the everyday price of this mix is less than $3.

    $2.40 at my local Bunnings everyday except today when it is $2.00

  • dufflover on 07/05/2017 - 22:32

    We bought 3 bags of the mulch today but the comments about the termite has me thinking now if it's a good idea to use it :S

    Would've bought potting mix too to mix in with our existing "soil" but the store looked to be out of stock.

  • superkieu on 08/05/2017 - 09:52

    bought a few yesterday.
    Thank You OP.

  • Master Haggler on 09/05/2017 - 15:58

    The pine bark mulch is still $2. Bought some today

    • secondstory on 10/05/2017 - 12:04

      I got some yesterday too. It was only enough to cover half of what I needed so hopefully its still there today!
