Bought 50 bags of black mulch. 40 of the bags were the same consistency and color. The last 10 bags were completely different consistency and color. Same bags, same brand but apparently because they came from different lots (local manufacturers) the mulch was completely different. One was bark and the other was finer. Now my front yard looks inconsistent. I called customer service and their solution was....mix it together. User's recommendation: Don't buy this.
