Cocoa Mulch

In my continuous search for Pine Bark Fines I saw some small dark mulch and read the label-Cocoa Mulch. This seems to be the only product that I have seen that is the proper size.

Will it work in the 5-1-1 mix?

I've purchased plants growing in cocoa mulch, but I found that you absolutely need to get them out of it in the spring following because of rapid soil collapse. I would only use it in a real pinch. Sorry.

I second that!
For sure.

ALL the local nursery men agree it is the worst stuff to use for container plants.

Very quickly to break down, meant for outdoor use on garden beds. The real purpose for this stuff in the first place..

I mulched a gardenbed with cocoa hull mulch and the whole thing mildewed.

Cocoa mulch is very bad for dogs. You absolutely must keep it away from them - just like chocolate.

I will add that it smells really good!
