User questions & answers

Question:	Does seed go down first or the straw
Answer:	These run a size small. My son is a 10, in men's shoes/sneakers, but wears an 11 in these.
Question:	Is this straw weed free
Answer:	You could probably climb the wall better but you wouldn’t want to do anything else in them. Climbing shoes are great for climbing but little else. I would recommend a climbing approach shoe that has sticky rubber but you can still walk around in.
Question:	Can I use this in my vegetable garden
Answer:	Depends on homuch you are going to be wearing them if you are going to the gym or out in the open. And if you are an entry level climber or a more advanced climber
Question:	Someone mentioned using this in their vegetable garden. Is it safe? I don't know what this bonding agent is and if it is meant for vegetable gardens
Answer:	If that’s you’re street shoe. I’d say get these about a half size smaller cause they do stretch quite a bit once they are worn in. I wish I would of gone down a size cause I ended up progressing past the point of what these shoes could handle very quickly because they became so loose at my heel I lost confidence on foot holds.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it organic? it says so in the description but not on the bag. seems like b.s
Answer:	Yes! I was converted to this in my vegetable gardens since it sticks and doesn’t move around, but is super easy to apply, and each bag goes a long way. I’ve even turned other friends onto it within the last year. Every once in awhile I’ll get a single grass seed, but otherwise virtually weedless. Tractor Supply Co here and Lowe’s have a much better price ($15) for this size, so I stock up when it’s any cheaper, because it does sell out locally in Houston. It’s much lighter and easier to stack and store also. I don’t find it water logs or mold when left in the bag like mulch or soil does. I like this all around.
Question:	Strange question.... can I use the mulch to make tea? I've made tea from cocoa husks before and was wondering if I could use this for tea
Answer:	These are women's sizes and run small.
Question:	Is this mulch certified organic? In the description it says "wholly organic," but not clear if they actually mean certified
Answer:	I'm a man so the only information I can give is what I've heard from others. A friend borrowed my shoes and was able to use them just fine. My feet aren't particularly wide and I had no issues (except for getting a size larger than I should have) I would recommend trying them on in person before you buy them. A good thing to keep in mind is these will stretch up to a size bigger than they are. Mine ended up too loose for extremely small footholds after some use. I bought my normal shoe size. I mainly bouldered in these and climbed a Max of only v2. Hopefully this can help.
Question:	Does this product keep cats from peeing in your flower bed? Also, how long does it last? It is pretty expensive to if you have to replace it very ofte
Answer:	I would go a size up from your normal size

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a dark color bark? I see two different colors shown for this item
Answer:	That's what I bought it for. I found out about using this to deter cats from using the flower beds under our windows from my sister (a cat lover) a few years ago. She told me that the reason it keeps cats away is that they don't like walking on the shells. I bought some large bags of it, at that time at our local garden center and it wasn't that expensive. I can't say that this or that brand is any better or if this is more expensive. I don't remember. They both worked. I simply could no longer find it locally so I searched online and found this. The cats no longer use these beds, so I guess it works. I haven't witnessed cats around it but just that we no longer have that cat urine/feces smell wafting through the windows. It breaks down after a few months and has to be refreshed. How long it takes seems to depend on how wet it gets. I would say 4-6 months, depending on how fresh you want it. You are also training the cats not to bother going to these places. I use it in beds with full sun in the afternoons, so I don't have any problem with mildew or anything like what other people have complained about. It seems to absorb the old smells, and leaves a faint scent of cocoa as well.
Question:	Does this have any tiny white bugs or any type of bug
Answer:	The seed goes first. I spray the soil, then lay the seed. The straw then goes over the seed--not too thick, but full coverage--and protects it and holds in the moisture so seed can sprout. Also lightly spray the straw to hold it down and activate the bonding agent that will keep it from blowing around
Question:	How many square feet of ground does 2 cubic feet of pine bark mulch cover
Answer:	I’ve had a substantial amount of straw seed in these bags. I definitely would not say they are weed free.
Question:	How Much Does It Weigh
Answer:	Absolutely, yes. I've used this for the past five years in my vegetable container gardens. It contains no pesticides or chemicals, only straw and guar gum as the tacking agent. It's the best mulch I've used. I always go back to it when I attempt to try anything else.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many bags do I need to fill a planter that is 66" wide x 11" high and 15" deep
Answer:	Not sure it but I think the weight should be on the bag and in the description. I use it for my potting base. Make the potted plant much lighter and help in drainage.
Question:	how manu cu ft per bag
Answer:	My bag didn't say organic on it.
Question:	Has anyone complained about dogs eating it
Answer:	Absolutely not. These are not food-grade bean hulls or packaged for human consumption. The hulls are packed in plastic bags (probably not food safe) and I would imagine they are stacked on palettes out in the open. But: excellent mulch, especially when you spread it over newspaper. If you meant "compost tea" for plants in your garden then probably yes -- a great idea!
Question:	How many square feet does a bag cover at 2" depth
Answer:	I have no idea. I have no idea if they are gmo-free, either. I don't know if there is a certified-organic mulch of any kind on the market. It is the hull from a cocoa bean. It is a natural component of a plant = organic. Cocoa beans are grown in central America. Are you actually asking if the beans come from a farm that is certified organic? I am going to go out on a limb here and say "probably not".

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone used this mulch in raised vegetable beds? I'd like to try it as a cover to retain moisture and prevent weeds
Answer:	I used this great product One bag covered about a 5x5 area!
Question:	Has anyone mixed this in with their sandy soil? If so, was it helpful
Answer:	Yes. It is dark colored
Question:	I have a small 2ft by 10ft raised bed. Will 1 bag be enough to top mulch this bed
Answer:	No, didn't see any bugs in mines.
Question:	I have 3 questions
Answer:	One bag of this pine bark mulch is very small. How much it covers will depend on how deep you want to go. I think it's really meant for indoor use due to the size of each bag. There are "mulch calculators" online. These will tell you the coverage you can expect.
