Sun damaging my mulch any suggestions?
First you should ask your self, " How old is the mulch I'm buying?" You need to buy it by the yard, from a nursery. Don't buy mulch in bags. You don't know how long it has been in storage. You need to top off mulch every year. Due to it decomposing. Mulch will fade... but will keep for the season if bought from a nursery. It is treated better than what you buy anywhere else. FYI : I do landscaping on the side.
Reply:buy the mulch made of recycled rubber, its color lasts longer the the mulch itself lasts longer
Reply:Most do fade--But, we have the color Golden Rod--I really like it, and it should last for 3 years. Top dressing mulch each year, helps with the coloring, or raking and stirring it up, helps bring back the color.
