Benefits of Cocoa Shell Mulch:
There are a lot of mulches available. We like cocoa shell mulch; not only does it smell good, but you'll be surprised how sweet this is for the garden...
Cocoa shell mulch is made from the shells of roasted cocoa beans used in the chocolate-making process. These shells come off the bean during the roasting process and are separated from the beans by strong air action, thus insuring a dry weed-free product.

FAQ's:
Q: Why is this mulch better than other types?
A: It lasts longer, smells better, gets darker with age, and provides various nutrients beneficial to plants and the soil. It retains moisture better than regular mulch and is an excellent insulator for root systems in winter and summer.
Q: What is the coverage per bag?
A: One bag covers approximately 22-24 square feet at 1 inch thick.
Q: Will the cocoa shell mulch bleach out in the sun?
A: No! Cocoa shell mulch actually gets darker with age.
Q: How long does the aroma last?
A: The aroma usually dissipates after 2 to 3 weeks.
Q: How thick can I put it down?
A: Cocoa shell mulch needs to be placed only 1 inch thick.
Q: Does it add nutrients to the soil?
A: Yes! Because of its slow decomposition process, it adds nutrients to the soil rather than draws from the soil. Cocoa shell mulch contains 2.5% Nitrogen, 1% Phosphate, and 3% Potash. It has a pH factor of 5.8. No supplemental nitrogen is needed when cocoa shell mulch is applied.
Q: It feels so light. Is there a problem with the wind blowing it away?
A: No. Provided you spray it down thoroughly with water after spreading. The shells will curl and interlock, creating a honeycomb effect, making for a carpetlike bed of mulch.
Q: Are insects attracted to the mulch.
A: No more than any other mulch. As is true with any organic product, there could be isolated instances where insects might lay eggs.
Q: Is this mulch good for all types of plants?
A: Yes! Cocoa shell mulch has been used on all types of plant materials including annuals, perennials, flowering shrubs, narrow-leaf evergreans, broad-leaf evergreens, trees, vines, ground covers, roses, and many vegetables. |
