My 'free mulch' from a local tree service was a huge mistake

I thought I was being smart by getting a whole truckload of free wood chips, but after a month it started sprouting mushrooms and volunteer saplings everywhere. Spending $80 on clean, double-ground mulch from the garden center solved the whole mess in a weekend. Anyone else have a 'free' backyard idea that totally backfired?

Ugh, my "free" compost pile basically did what @the_elliot said, just a total disaster.

Tried composting, got a rat condo instead.

Yeah @nancyn69, that's every good plan gone wrong right there.
