Hull Farm Cocoa Bean Shell Mulch - 2 Cubic Feet of Organic, Nutrient-Rich Mulch for Your Garden

Donna crum: Great contrast in a flower bed. Love this stuff, you have to wet it down real, real good when you first put it down and it will stay, won’t fly away like other mulches. But if you don’t wet it down it will be gone in the wind.

Thinkwell: I used this to refresh the cocoa hulls I put down years ago in the beds outside the front door. The old ones were larger than these and break down very slowly, so one bag went a long way to refresh the existing. I had to order these from Amazon b/c I cannot get them locally since the pandemic started, but I doubt I will buy more than 1 additional bag b/c the Amazon price is about 3X the local price. These make the front entrance smell great and the texture is fine and even - looks great.

Juli A.: I started using this type of mulch years ago.....when it was much cheaper. Now it is an outrageous price, but I'm still buying it if that indicates anything. This mulch smells like chocolate (since it comes from a cocoa bean shell), and holds moisture better than any other mulch I've ever used. Sometimes a coating of harmless mold can appear (in humid conditions) but it's beneficial to the plants, and doesn't last long. Last time I purchased this from another source for cheaper, but the shipping price was crazy. So this year i got it from Amazon for about the same price in reverse.....shipping was free, but the mulch was expensive...I guess if you want it, you're going to pay for it one way or the other.

swhatle: The product was great! Looks great in the garden and was clean and fresh. However, it is very expensive and I have found a local source that costs waaay less.

I. King: Many years ago I used to find this at the local big box stores with no problems. However, apparently because careless people let their dogs run around and eat it out of other peoples yards, it is now harder to find.

That said, even though I am paying triple of what I used to pay, I don't regret it a bit. I have a very small planting area in the front of my house, which is a covered courtyard. Like I said, it's pretty small. However, after putting the mulch down - I use it more as a cushion for container plants rather than planting directly in the horrible Las Vegas soil – I love it. It looks beautiful and it smells even better. We are currently going through a heat wave and every time I open my front door I get a blast of heat and chocolate. Mmmm! I have ordered bags of cocoa hull mulch from various online vendors, and have received everything from super dried out to damp and moldy. Most had little or no scent, which is one of the attractions of this mulch. This is the first bag that I received that is exactly the way that I remembered.

Despite the cost, I highly recommend this mulch. Since we live in such disparate climates throughout the country, naturally, your...
