Unless you have a flower bed or something else you want to mulch. You can ask them if they have straw mulch. Usually kept in a different department.

P.s. wood tends to pull nitrogen from the soil and can add acidity to the ph. Over all it's not highly recommended by most growers.
You can also use more organic mulches like leaf mold, lawn clippings...oh wow the list goes on. But you def want something that can break down easily and then can be later worked into the soil when it decomposes.

Personally I still wouldn't use it. The only benefit I see is that I will keep harmful bugs at bay. A lot of feeder roots sit near the top of the soil and I would never risk having even an inch or two get too acidic for nute uptake.
There are very few grows I see with people using any type of wood as a mulch. There is a reason for that.

Well shit...then all the organic books I've read through the yrs of how to adjust ph in soil can be thrown out lmao.
I mean two of the biggest known ammendments to add to soil for acidity is pine needles and wood chips.... soooo....there goes all of that out the window.

Only if it’s mixed into the soil. Just sitting on the top layer as a mulch should be fine. There was an organic gardener on YouTube that broke this topic down and said it has no adverse affects on nitrogen when used as a mulch.
