mulch alternative suggestions wanted
Treetops said:
Ditto on the cocoa shells. Damp spots remain moldly all summer. Also if it is loose in spots (fluffed up or newly laid), a strong wind blows it around, or people, pets etc walking on it tracks it around; a real nuisance. Also, both my wife and I found the smell to be too strong, especially when damp. I can't imagine why anyone uses the stuff. Supplies potassium and some nitrogen. I find it best used mixed with shredded leaves, which prevents it from clumping up so much. The cocoa shells are the last bit to be consumed, and the remnants don't clump up like fresh ones do. -- Pat in Plymouth MI Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
