4-Quart Fine Cocoa Bean Shell Mulch for Gardens, Potted Plants, and Flower Beds

Upon roasting cocoa beans, the outer shell detaches from the kernel, giving rise to a rich mulch derived from these shells. Renowned for its delightful aroma and visually appealing appearance, organic cocoa shell mulch boasts a natural charm. Comprised of 100% pure elements, it offers a 5.8 pH level, reflecting a nutrient profile of approximately 2.5-1-3, making it a valuable fertilizer source. This mulch enriches the soil with vital nutrients without posing any risk to vegetation due to its gentle nature.

Employing cocoa shell mulch in your garden enhances soil vitality, presenting a sophisticated touch to potted plants, flower beds, and vegetable gardens. Its contemporary appeal lies in its ability to bestow a fresh and modern makeover, especially when used as a striking topping for your greenery. The mulch's clean look conceals the soil, adding an elegant finish.

The mulch emits a delightful fragrance reminiscent of rich chocolate, inviting you to indulge in its heavenly scent. Sustainably sourced from countries like Belize, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Madagascar, Nicaragua, and Uganda, our cocoa beans contribute to responsible sourcing practices.

Using the mulch is effortless; simply apply a one-inch (1") layer on top of the soil, ensuring it doesn't hinder watering. The numerous advantages of this ultra-fine mulch include enhancing soil fertility, facilitating water absorption, protecting against evaporation, maintaining moisture, and regulating soil temperature.

Especially suited for compact spaces, this mulch is ideal for both indoor and outdoor potted plants, as well as diminutive flower beds and gardens. However, pet owners should exercise caution, as cocoa shells contain trace amounts of caffeine and theobromine, which can be toxic to dogs. The enticing aroma might attract pets, posing potential risks if ingested. To minimize this hazard, consider using a dog repellent in treated areas or opt for a non-toxic alternative. In case of accidental ingestion, promptly contact your veterinarian.
