Finally broke down and bought some black mulch for the first time ever! And I sure was surprised, so I was potting strawberries plants and used the Scotts mulch on top of course, And within a dozen handfuls, I already discovered or pulled TWO pieces of plastic out!!!! What a bummer!!!! What else could be hiding inside? Very disappointed, I don't want to eat or consume plastic residues for years to come!!!!! First and last buy!!!!!!!!!!!
