Has anyone, who lives in NJ, found a source for cypress mulch or fir bark in bulk?
Sorry, I should have included it’s for an indoor enclosure for a redfoot.Is this for an outdoor enclosure?
I've always used the larger bags of pure Orchid bark from the Home Depot.Sorry, I should have included it’s for an indoor enclosure for a redfoot.
My closed chamber enclosures have always been on the small side since I keep everything except hatchlings outdoors 24/7.The only bags I see are these. Unfortunately, I need 10-12cu ft to fill the whole enclosure. If this is the only thing I can find, then I’ll get it. I was under the impression that the substrate should be changed monthly-ish.
I use 2 or 3 cubic ft bags of 100% cypress mulch from Lowes & been using this mulch with our Sully for years now. There’s an occasional large/pointy piece or two, but those are easily spotted & tossed into the garden.
Currently $4.00 a bag

He’ll go outside as soon as the weather permits, but in the grand land of Jersey, that’s not for another month or so.My closed chamber enclosures have always been on the small side since I keep everything except hatchlings outdoors 24/7.
I thought that there were two different sized bags. I use the smaller bag.
Spot cleaning eliminates the need for a total substrate change for many months
Home Depot should have Cypress Mulch for about $4 per 2 cubic ft. bag, the same as Lowe's does. If you have ever served in the military, you can get a 10% discount at Home Depot also.Has anyone, who lives in NJ, found a source for cypress mulch or fir bark in bulk?
I concur that I should be able to get this at Home Depot or Lowes. I have checked all stores in my state and no one carries it at the moment. The closest store that does is a few hours away.Home Depot should have Cypress Mulch for about $4 per 2 cubic ft. bag, the same as Lowe's does.

You should be able to get yourself 12 cubic feet for around $24 plus tax and a bit less if you were/are military.

Great idea! Thank you!Check in with the garden center manager & ask them to check. Maybe they will order 20 bags for you. It should be arriving soon.
One of ours has 206 bags ready for you
