John,
I live in the sugarcane state ( Florida, grows lots , not as much as we use to in the days of the sugar barons but still a state of production) anyway I have never seen sugarcane mulch. Maybe they just have it local to the Glades that's where the cane is grown. I willhave to see if I can find some. This interest me.

Hi Nancy
I also live in Australia's sugarcane state, it's still a major crop here. The mulch has been available for many years, it's made up of the the "trash" ie. tops and leaves left over from the cane harvest. It's available in different types ( roughly chopped through to very fine ) and quantities, huge "rounds", also bales then to small packages. It's become increasingly popular over the years and hence (I don't know why) the price has steadily increased. In the beginning the farmers were glad to be rid of it...now it's a business. I still drive down to pick up bales direct from the farmers as it's about half the price of store bought and if I want it any finer I just run over it with my mower or put it through my mulcher. I always go to the organic farms as no pesticides are used during the growing period.
 
I was a very good girl today....Bf and I went to Menards

1 pack of Penstemon rondo mix
2 packs impatiens butterfly hybrid mix
1 pack of columbine barlow mix

I went out to buy some bamboo stakes and came back with a vanilla orchid, a grape, a red pawpaw and 3 coffee plants......yep you guessed it, forgot all about the stakes!:rolleyes: Can't beat those end of season sales, soooo tempting ;)
