Joe, as I remarked in some other thread -- I've had some real problems here in San Diego with the free mulch and compost from the city greenery program. About a year ago about 1/3 of my trees needed new mulch and I used the free city product. By mid summer, only those trees were suffering from some of the worst sooty mold, mildew, and insect problems I'd seen in a long time -- whereas a neigboring tree with a different mulch source was doing fine.
