Earth Shades Mulch Dye (Slate Black) 10,000 SQ FT coverage

I usually have to shovel about 25 yds of black mulch each year around my home to make it look good, timely and expensive. As the mulch is piled pretty deep, thought I would try to dye it this year to see if that was a cost/time alternative. I bought the product and mixed it in a back pack sprayer and applied. The usual 3 day project of shoveling took about 3 hours of spraying. It covers well and soaks in immediately to the top layer of wood and has the appearance of new mulch. I did this a few weeks ago and the heavy rain we have had this spring has not affected the color. The only drawback I see(and anticpaed)is that you are only dying the top layer of mulch so anytime a kid or a deer runs through the bed, it turns over a little mulch and you see the underlying aged mulch underneath. It is not a big deal as the product is so easy to apply, I anticipate touching up every couple of months. My future plan is to lay real mulch every other year and apply this on the off years and in the fall to touch up my beds so they always look fresh.

Looks great at first. Wears off quickly, and I put down really heavy.Does not replace putting down real mulch.

My husband purchased this product when our shipments of mulch were different colors. Easy to use and really works and has lasted.

Good stuff
