Soil & Mulch(9+)



Frequently Asked Questions
How much mulch is in a pallet from Sam's Club?
Pallet sizes vary by product type. Typically, a full pallet of rubber mulch includes 50 bags, each containing 1.5 cubic feet, covering approximately 450 square feet at a 2-inch depth.
Does rubber mulch attract termites or other pests?
No. Unlike traditional wood mulch, Member's Mark Rubber Mulch is not an organic food source and does not retain the moisture that attracts termites, carpenter ants, or other wood-boring insects.
How long does the color last on rubber mulch?
The shredded and nugget rubber mulch sold at Sam's Club features a long-term color guarantee, typically lasting up to 12 years without needing a "top-off" or replacement, unlike wood mulch which fades within a single season.
Can potting mix be used for in-ground planting?
While potting mix is designed for container drainage, it can be mixed with native soil to improve aeration. However, for large in-ground areas, a dedicated Garden Soil is more cost-effective and specifically formulated for those conditions.
What is the advantage of a "Super Sack" of mulch?
A Rubber Mulch Super Sack provides 75 cubic feet of material in one large container. This is ideal for commercial playgrounds or large residential borders where high volume is needed without the hassle of opening and disposing of dozens of individual bags.
How do I prevent weeds from growing through my mulch?
Before applying your Member's Mark Mulch, clear the area of existing weeds and lay down a heavy-duty landscape fabric. This creates a physical barrier that prevents weed seeds from reaching the soil while still allowing water and nutrients to pass through.
