LS4881D  Arthur Bowers Cocoa Shell Mulch 50 litre    £13.99
Click Extra Images: pic 1 pic 2 pic 3	J. Arthur Bower's Cocoa Shell Mulch is made from natural renewable resources as a by-product of chocolate manufacturing which produces a chocolatey aroma. This mulch will break down over time, rotting into the soil, which helps improve its structure. By topping it up every few years you will maintain the benefits. Perfect for suppressing weeds and holding moisture in beds and borders, once the cocoa shell has been spread and has become wet, it will form a crust, which binds it together - this crust will then help prevent slug and snail attacks. A white mould may occasionally appear on cocoa shell when first applied, this soon disappears as the cocoa shell starts to form the crust which binds it together. Each bag covers approximately 1.4 square metres, spread at a depth of 5cm Please note: Cocoa shell contains the naturally occurring substance theobromine - if eaten by dogs, this can be very harmful so please keep your dog away from the treated area until the mulch has settled i.e. a couple of weeks.

Top Customer Reviews: good looking posted on 12/06/2013 by laila Cocoa shell makes my flower beds neat and artistic Value for money posted on 09/03/2013 by bdsammo Keeps the weeds down and is pleasant to look at better than wood bark. VERY GOOD posted on 07/03/2013 by EXPO THIS PRODUCT IS VERY GOOD AND DOES EVERY THING THEY SAY INCLUDING KEEPING CATS OFF AND STOPPING WEEDS. FOR SUCH A GOOD PRODUCT VERY HARD TO FIND STOCKISTS. I wouldn't use anything else posted on 01/09/2012 by Brian Glover Cocoa shell mulch is absolutely the best dressing I have found for weed suppression. They either don't grow at all or if they do, their root systems are so shallow that you can easily lift them out. The shell also forms a crust which means it doesn't blow away. Far better than bark chips. As my local garden centres stopped selling this a coupe of years ago I as delighted to find it on Greenfingers. Thank you. Buy this now posted on 01/09/2012 by RockChick22 This product smells wonderful and also does deter slugs and snails. Looks great too and helps plants survive the winter cold Superb mulch posted on 27/04/2012 Was so pleased that you could supply the mulch as my local garden centres have stopped stocking it as according to them the price has gone up a bit since last year. Your delivery times were excellent. I originally started using the mulch as a cat deterrent which definitely works but I also like the look of the cocoa shells in my garden and it certainly keeps the weeds down. Even although the price has increased I still think it is good value as once spread it does not blow away and I love the effect of it. Chuffed to bits... posted on 27/07/2011 Really pleased with this product. Used to finish off a raised sleeper border and to keep weeds and cats away. Looks something special and smells lovely too. Easy to Use posted on 28/04/2011 by Philippa Hewitt Delivery time very good and packaged very well. Very easy to spread and much less messy than bark, gives borders that finishing touch and hope it will help to keep cats away although doesnt advertise itself to do that, helps to keep weeds at bay. Only downside is that it has a chocolate odour especially if it gets wet then the sun shines but its not an offensive smell, also to keep the look you have to spread annually. So far, so good.... posted on 12/02/2011 by T1ger I purchased this with a view to stop my garden being used as the local feline toilet (never lived anywhere with so many cats). So far,so good... keeping fingers crossed, etc. The cocoa shell looks really nice and it smells chocolatey - better than what the cats used to leave behind!!! I sure it will stop the weeds poking through as well. Worth every penny if i get a cat free garden. NO 1 PRODUCT posted on 06/09/2010 by kellyscatz This is a must if you don't want weeds or cats using the garden as a litter tray ! It looks great and smells so nice I will be buying again and again.
