Coco a Shell mulch is a very unique decorative landscape mulch.
It is 100% organic and is not only used for decorative purposes, but many people use it as a fertilizer for lawns, flowers and vegetable gardens.
Cocoa shell mulch is especially beneficial for around rose plants and hostas.
Cocoa shell mulch actually gets darker as it ages while bark mulch gets lighter.
Because this mulch is a bi-product of the chocolate making process, it gives off a chocolate aroma that usually lasts 2-3 weeks from the time of application.
The cocoa shells are cleaned up and screened in the chocolate making process, reducing any risk of weed seed lying within the bag.
While it seems to be quite loose and easily blown around when first applied, as cocoa shell mulch ages it solidifies into one uniform “mat” over the landscape it is sitting on. It is recommended to spray water over the area after material is applied if you wish to speed this process.
Caution: This product should not be consumed by pets.

Shredded Hardwood Bark is made primarily from the bark of hardwood trees but can contain trace amounts of wood and other types of bark.
The small pieces also take slightly less time to break down, this allows the nutrients to transfer to the soil quicker.
When applying mulch it is recommended to maintain a 3″ depth to allow for maximum weed control while still allowing water to reach your plants.
If applying mulch around trees, leave a gap of a couple inches around the trunk of the tree to allow water and air to reach the bark and root system.
