"I've used Valley VetCo on Montano for the past two years. Their prices are reasonable. I'm not too sure about how "natural" they are but have always found them to be super good with my "kids"."

"Good advice, Mike! And BTW, hardly any roaches around my house in the north valley. I don't know if it has anything to do with the enormous wolf spiders that live here or not."

"Albuquerque = roaches. :) Bark chips, mulch, whatever you call it, it's pretty simple and all does the same thing. It's really about what you like aesthetically and what you want to pay. Pecan shells have a nice rich red-brown color when…"

"The bulk auger mix at Western Organics is reasonably priced and attractive. They're in the book. That stuff at the dog parks is unique to the City of Albuquerque, I believe, and I don't know that it's sold anywhere."

I would really like to put down some bark chips in my yard. This is just a temporary fix to keep the mud down until I can get it landscaped later this year...or next. I'm looking for the stuff that is at the dog parks. Does anyone know where I can get this? I have a truck and can go get it, I just don't know where to go.
