I never heard of it as a BLACK mulch
product per se, but it SOUNDS like that would just be sawdust dyed black.

From http://home.nycap.rr.com/adamsgardendepot/id20.htm:

SWEET PEET BLACK MULCH IS GROUND EXTRA FINE AND MIXED WITH A
SPECIAL COMPOST THAT OTHERS JUST CAN NOT DUPLICATE. THEN IT IS
AGED IN A BURN PILE LONGER THAN MOST MULCHES. AS IT BREAKS
DOWN IN YOUR GARDENS, SWEET PEET MULCH ONLY TURNS DARKER AS
IT FEEDS YOUR PLANTS BETTER THAN ANY PELLET FERTILIZER ON THE
MARKET. IT'S UNIQUE BODY & COLOR GIVES SWEET PEET MULCH THE
QUALITY THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL PAY THE EXTRA DOLLAR TO HAVE AT
THEIR HOME. CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE USED SWEET PEET BLACK MULCH
IN THE PAST WILL USE NO OTHER IN THE FUTURE.

Sounds like a good marketing ploy for sawdust. Obviously it can't have
many nutrients or it would have a fertilizer label.
