July’s Featured Product
Monkey Hair Mulch® is a great product to minimize erosion on slopes while it conserves available water during the hot summer months ahead. This long-lasting fibrous product also excels at general weed control. Try our Monkey Hair Mulch® to refresh and clean up the look of your landscape this summer!
Our composted mulches have been tested and are free of pathogenic organisms meeting the highest quality requirements of the US Composting Council (USCC).
Apply 3” to 4” thick for optimal moisture retention and weed control.
For information about using mulch, check out Dr. K’s Compost and Mulch Tips, CalRecycle’s Compost and Mulch Use Toolbox, or SPV Soils Resources. Feel free to contact Dr. K with any questions.
