Breezy, I’m guessing you’re asking for opinions/advice, not donations?

IMO, Moodoo from Burien Bark is the best of both worlds in terms of combining nutrition with weed suppression. It’s half manure and half composted sawdust, so the same thing as Steerco but (again, IMO) a bit better quality. I used to use Beauti-Gro from Sawdust Supply, but it’s expensive and very woody. Lots of splinters. Moodoo gives a nice finish to your beds and performs very well. I “steer” away from Cedar Grove products.

I would make one other recommendation, and that is in regard to your timing. One of the other functions of mulch (aside from nutrition and weed suppression) is protection of the root zones. While it’s possible to mulch any time, it’s ideally done in the ‘tween seasons – spring and fall. Now through November would be ideal – before heavy rains and freezing cold.
