Is mulch combustible?

Mulch, compost, and decomposition all generate intense heat and a risk of fire. The larger the pile, the more fuel and insulation is available to feed potential combustion. Larger piles also make it more difficult to extinguish a burning mountain of mulch. Mulch that is piled up more than a few inches deep starts to heat up as it decomposes, which can lead to fires starting via spontaneous combustion.

Which is less likely to cause termites pea gravel or mulch?

Both provide a favorable habitat for termites; controlled temperature and moisture retention. I'm not sure which mulch is "less" likely to attract termites. Based on research I've performed on the internet, some say that pea gravel or rock mulch maintains moisture in the soil better than wood mulch, and thus is more attractive to termites. Wood much is better for plants because it eventually breaks down and provides nutrients. If you use pea gravel as a mulch, you need to make sure to choose plants that can handle the added heat because pea gravel will retain heat more than wood mulch. I'm not an expert. I've picked up this info by researching the internet.

How much mulch can a dump truck carry?

It depends on the dump truck itself. Dump trucks can range in size from a 1/4 ton pickup, all the way up to centipede, which has four sets of lift axles. You'd have to be a little more specific. As mulch is usually a pretty lightweight commodity, it would be more often measured out in cubic yards, rather than in tons.


Does grass cuttings make good mulch?

Yes, but you don't want to apply it when it's been freshly cut. You want to let it sit for a while. When it's freshly cut, it will release a lot of nitrogen. Let it sit until it dries out and then put it on your bed. Also, grass has a tendency to thatch and this will create a water barrier. Make sure you keep it fluffy.
