Although you have to soak this mulch for much more than 5 minutes (works best when soaked for some hours or overnight)...it is well worth the wait. Two blocks make for a wheelbarrow full of wet mulch that you can plop down and shape with your gloved hands, which made for the opportunity to create nice rounded and moulded edges...piles on thickly, more so than the dry kind I used to buy at Home Depot...I have mine six inches thick and it is bright and healthy looking...making a nice backdrip for my uprising bulbs. Already have it on my wishlist to purchase again.

This product is great. I can store it easily and use it whenever I want to. Just add water and wait for it to expand.

As advertised, it certianly does expand to 5 times in volume with the addition of water. However, the product is very unevenly cut. As a result, the smaller pieces breakdown quickly and loss their value as mulch and turn into soil additive! The larger pieces look a bit unsightly...

I've had nothing but headaches with this mulch. Couldn't get it to hydrate enough to actually spread it on my garden, instead it simply expanded to the size of the container and re-solidified so now I can't get it out and the container is ruined. Ended up buying a few bags of regular mulch at the hardware store.

I bought this mulch because I needed to have it shipped to my home and this seemed cost effective. It was. However, it is a bit messier than prepackaged mulch.
