When mulching beds be careful not to over mulch around the truck of your trees. That is where they take in oxygen. Avoid placing mulch on and around the crown or base of perennials. Some plants such as peonies won’t flower at all if their crowns are covered. Other shallow rooted perennials such as bell flowers can be smothered by heavy mulch.

Cocoa Shells

Adding any mulch is good for the garden but Cocoa Shell is the best mulch on the market. And here is why:
1. It looks much better than other mulches. It begins life as a red brown color but after time darkens to give a rich brown color that stays for its life. Bark tends to bleach in the sun giving an uneven and untidy appearance. Cocoa Shell gives a lovely contrast to foliage and flowers.
2. Cocoa Shell is packed full of healthy nutrients for all your plants. It has enough Nitrogen within itself to compost down, whereas bark robs the soil of Nitrogen as it composts and hence deprives plants of this nutrient.
3. It works better than the other mulches. It is better at weed suppression because of the loosely knitted porous mat, and for the same reason better at keeping moisture in the ground (up to 50% better in independent tests). So for a low maintenance option cocoa shell is the best mulch
