Re: Cedar & Cocoa Bean Mulches - now recycled tires
I tried the cocoa mulch many years ago and the chocolate smell made
me crazy for the first few weeks until it dissipated. It is quite
expensive and I didn't see any advantage over regular 'ole compost.
Speaking of mulch, I saw something recently that really alarmed me -
recycled rubber tires cut up into chunks, died green or reddish brown
and sold by the bag as mulch!
A petroleum product sold as something that covers the ground? What
happens when it starts to break down and releases petroleum
byproducts into the soil, not to mention tiny shreds of rubber?
While I applaud the effort to find new uses for rubber tires, this
one really seems like a terrible idea.
Anyone know anything else about it?
Nan
