Are you talking about this mulch?
https://www.costco.com/megamulch-expanding-coconut-coir%2c-2-pack.product.100365369.html

I saw this at my local Costco yesterday, I suppose you could buy one bag and see how it works out for you before you commit to a bunch of bags

I have seen that and it’s interesting too but the one I was looking at was a cubic yard of bark mulch that costco contracts an external company to deliver, sort of like how it does the hvac etc.

It comes in a large bag that gets dropped off via a crane from the back of a large truck, apparently you can mark a spot in your driveway and they can just drop it off there whenever.

My garden beds are kind of a disaster and I just want to smother the weeds basically.

The KitKat ice cream bars are the best and I prefer them to the Haagendaaz even. They have the wonderful wafer crunch in them and soooo good.

Also I took a flier on the chocolate covered pistachios last time and they are very good. The pistachio chunks are a little small but you get a good flavour in the chocolate with a crunch and I have to pace myself otherwise I would be slamming it by the handful.

I hate to break it to you but that will not work. Life, uh, finds a way. Best to spend a few hours weeding, making sure you get the roots of them out, and THEN cover in mulch. Ask me how I know.

If you are talking about the ones that say KETO on the white box, yes they are very good. And only 2g of carbs.

Also they say the ice cream is "salted caramel" but it is very feint flavor.

Won't work. If you want to solarize, you have to put down thick black plastic, seal it up, weight it down, and cook the ground for a full year. Get yourself a dandelion fork (example) pull up everything by the root, then spray anything new that pops up with roundup.

Or just plant mint and let it engulf everything in its way.

in my neighbor hood theres a big spot where theyve laid a huge plot of that thick black plastic tarping to eradicate weeds and it's doing an ok job but theres still a bunch of really potent ones growing right through the seams.

you can imagine the black mesh fabric that some people install under mulch/top soil is even less effective because weeds can and will easily grow below and on top of it

I don’t like the landscape cloth, but have used it and found it was pretty effective. It’s just a hassle in that it doesn’t break down and you’ll eventually have to pull all that crap out at some point.

I wasn’t going to just dump mulch on weeds, my bad for making it sound that way. I get in there and remove and go to town with a dutch hoe and remove all the suckers and whatnot. Then put down either newspapers or brown paper and wet it, then cover with a good 4” of bark mulch. This works really well for at least a season and replenishing the mulch in the spring does well to keep it contained. Any weeds that do manage to push up are easy to pull out. That’s the main benefit of the mulch, ease of yanking any straggly ones that manage to pop through it.

We used it with our first kid after trying a bunch of different ones and it worked fine for however long he was on it before transitioning to solids.

Wire cutter had it as a top pick which is what led us to try it-we’re glad we did-it’s sooo much cheaper than the others.

Same, we used it with our first kid (second kid was just born so no data on that yet) and it worked wonders, though it did turn my son into a hellbeast who now wants to eat everything in sight at all times, especially what his parents are eating. I dunno, maybe that's just 19 month olds in general.

My kid doesn’t eat like that, though sometimes he steals our food instead of what we made him if it’s any different. We’ve got another kid due any day and we’ll gladly give him Costco formula if he takes to it.

If he doesn't like the Costco formula you should at least make him sleep with your executive membership card so the Costco experience is all he ever knows. Also, congrats on the baby.

My wife and various other people have told me that the laws that regulate formula, make it so that pretty much all the formula products are identical. Clearly this is not the case for the specialist vegan/lactose free/etc ones though.

This poo poo right here. I did the black garbage bag trick but only for a small space (square fit garden) and it worked well enough. Seams? you better double down on that plastic or just accept it's gonna have a weed or 20. Mesh? forget it. Like a speed bump for weeds.

Having had kids it is a remarkably short window that you can actually fit them into the shopping cart seat. Like 2 years max. Maybe this new one is better for big chungus kids.

Yeah my uncle is a pharmacist and used to work in regulation and poo poo. He said the regulations on formula is out of this loving world so that every tiny little scoopful is completely identical to the next.

Brands do have variation across each other though, which is why you gotta do the formula dance if you have a kid with a fussy stomach. I'm like 90% positive that Costco formula is just Enfamil
