4 attractive types of mulch

Do you want to beautify your yard? If so, here are four mulches you may want to use in your garden.

Cedar mulch is available in a variety of colors. It lasts for several years and is suitable to use around the base of trees and hedges. However, it’s not recommended for flower beds or vegetable gardens.

Hulls from cocoa beans, peanut shells, and buckwheat decompose naturally over time and nourish your soil. Consequently, vegetable gardens benefit greatly from hull mulch. However, cocoa bean hulls can be hazardous to dogs.

Ramial fragmented wood mulch slowly decomposes over two years. It’s made of shredded hardwood branches and is one of the best choices for vegetable gardens and flower beds.

Recycled glass that’s been crushed into small fragments is safe to use as mulch but shouldn’t be mixed with soil. Instead, it should be layered on top of landscaping fabric. It’s perfect for plants that tolerate heat and drought.
