your experimental design is flawed. you needed to mulch the other
with cypress or some other colored mulch as a control. bare dirt is
not a proper control to the red mulch. Ingrid

We (my wife, as I said she was nuts) did an experiment with tomatoes and
red SRM mulch this year and I am eating crow.

The plants in the mulch row are at least twice as big as the row planted
in bare dirt... same plants only two feet away.

Anyone else have experience with this stuff?
