It's my favorite mulch besides compost. I like the looks of it and love the aroma. In the past I bought it from Lowe's, but they didn't have it when I looked last summer. I bought it from a local nursery instead but have seen it at ACE and OSH on occasion. You will probably hear warnings about danger to pets. I've never had a problem using it around cats but when we had dogs, I didn't use it around them just to be safe because they ate everything!

I've found it at various box stores, but not not always. I'd just call around. I like it, but as a pure mulch I do sometime see it picking up mold/fungus if it gets too wet. I had to stop using it in germination mixes because of that. Love that smell though.

I saw big bags of cocoa mulch at OSH in my area over the weekend, I'd try your local one. Good luck.

They only stock that in certain places in the summer. One problem it will get mildew if wet. Only use it where you don't plan to water. It is expensive because it breaks down very fast and has to be replaced quickly.
