Have bought TONS of bags of this brand over the years. Yes we’ve had trash, nails and bugs in ours too. But not every bag and not that much. Pick out the nails & trash and toss them and honestly I spray all the mulch after I lay it down anyways for bugs. It’s a great time to put down the granules for bugs. Last summers bags that I layed down turned white over the year (probably from the sprinkler water), but it’s only color guaranteed for a year. Well, it made it a year so I can’t onlineplain. This year I’ve bought about 10 bags and put it on top of the old stuff and WA-LAH the color is back =). All in all I would still reonlinemend this brand.
