Cocoa Bean Shell Mulch for Mulching & Gardening (4 Quarts)

When cocoa beans are roasted, the shell and bean separate, resulting in the creation of mulch made from cocoa bean shells. Many gardeners appreciate the pleasant scent and appealing appearance of cocoa shell mulch, as it contains nitrogen, phosphate, and potash, with a pH of 5.8 and a fertilizer value of approximately 2.5-1-3. This organic mulch adds beneficial nutrients to the soil without causing harm to vegetation.

By using cocoa shell mulch in the garden, soil vitality is increased and potted plants, flower beds, and vegetable gardens can benefit from its attractive top cover. The fresh and modern look provided by this mulch enhances the appearance of your plants, while also hiding the soil and adding a clean layer to the top.

Not only does this mulch look great, but it also offers a wonderful fragrance with its sweet, chocolatey aroma. It is made from 100% natural organic cocoa bean shells that are sustainably sourced from various countries such as Belize, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Madagascar, Nicaragua, and Uganda.

This easy-to-use mulch can be placed one inch deep on top of the soil without interfering with watering. Its ultra-fine texture provides numerous benefits, including adding nutrients to the soil, allowing water seepage, providing protection against evaporation, retaining moisture, and regulating soil temperature.

Ideal for small outdoor spaces and indoor potted plants, as well as small flower beds and gardens, this cocoa shell mulch is a versatile option. However, dog owners should be cautious, as cocoa bean shells contain caffeine and theobromine, both of which are toxic to dogs. The sweet smell of the mulch may attract dogs and pose a potential danger if ingested. It is recommended to use a dog repellent in areas where mulch is applied or consider using a non-toxic alternative. If a dog ingests cocoa bean shells, immediate veterinary assistance should be sought.
