Keep in mind, it needs to be redone 2-3 times more often than compared to pine bark. If your doing it yourself it's a great deal. If your paying to have it done it becomes just as expensive as pine bark if not more in the long run due to the repeated material and labor cost.
but in the long run it tends to get blown all over the place when it's windy. A poor choice in my opinion.
