Want to use coal for landscaping, instead of tanbark/mulch.

I prefer the larger size.

That reminds me of this. http://www.stomptokyo.com/badmovierepor ... olith.html

The guy I used to buy coal from in Middletown used to have two monsters out in front of his place. He would take one to the Durham Fair and people would try to guess it's weight, within 10 # and you would win a ton of coal. He never did pay out IIRC. One was in the 3200# range, he told me when he retired. That is a BIG chunk of coal!

I did find a place that sells it with many different sizes available.

Thinking about tackling this again this summer. My question is, is this coal black? From all thepics I see, it seems to look more grey in color. I want a deep black look... Thanks in advance.

pocono that looks really good, and if you ever run out of coal you will always have a back up supply

thats what i thought!!

Kuntz's and sons has coal, it is in the hershey/hummelstown area. They sell blaschak and superior of all sizes. You can go bag it yourself weigh vehicle in weigh out, or have it delivered.

Ohh, that's close to me. I'm in Harrisburg...

Yup, that is why I put that up there, they are a good place to deal with and they have good pricing too.

Just rake up the old mulch and other lawn waste and even out and dye it. Should give it longer life.

Have you used this Mulchdye?
