Cocoa mulch makes an excellent mulch with the sweet aroma of chocolate.
After watering Cocoa Mulch, a natural gum is activated, which binds the shells into a loosely knitted porous mat that holds moisture in the soil, suppresses weed growth due to lack of sunlight & holds in place during normal rain or windstorms. The shell is drawn down amongst the plant roots by natural action producing a rich soil improving humus. A generous layer of Cocoa Mulch will also help protect roots from frosts in winter & heat in summer. Derived from cocoa bean hulls.
