zone 7 Kernersville, NCQ.Pine needle mulch by bales vs yards
Some local providers are advertising pine needles by the yard and some by the bale. I am confused whether these are the same amounts or if you get more by one measurement or the other.

October 13, 2015A.27 cubic feet make a cubic yard.
A common landscaping guideline is 1 bale will cover 50 square feet.
Bales are usually easier for a home owner to use.

April 12, 2016Q.how can I apply excess rubber mulch to my garden
I already have a rubber mulch surface in my garden at my new house but this has lots of grease marks on it. I have found a bag of loose rubber mulch, which I thought I could put over the top of the marks, but what do I do to make it bond?
- Answered by

April 13, 2016A.I am thinking that you could use the same bonding adhesive used for rubber roofing.
