Guest dva Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I've seen the posting about mulch made of cocoa. Thanks. We are looking at covering some of the areas of our backyard that the hounds have torn up with some kind of mulch. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to get? Or any suggestions on some other covering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyPoopon Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I have cedar mulch covering the back 1/4 of my yard because the grass couldn't survive the hounds. The dog bathroom is in pine mulch. Both are just basic garden supply bulk mulches.

Guest sheila Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I used to use cypress mulch until I read that it is acquired by the clear cutting of old growth trees to produce as are most mulches. I would prefer to see ppl use rock/gravel or even the mulch that could be made from the leftover Christmas trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFlaca Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 My son works for Parks & Recreation and can get us free mulch that is made from trees downed by hurricanes. In general then, is mulch a hound safe alternative to other ground cover? Doesn't tear up their feet when they run or dig?
