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.
