FYI for the pet owners here..........

Cocoa Shell Mulch Warning

Some "environmentally friendly" garden mulches may contain cocoa shells and the shells have a high content of theobromine -- the active ingredient in chocolate which is poisonous to dogs. There has already been one report of a dog dying after ingesting a small quantity of mulch and reportedly one manufacturer has been ordered to place a larger warning on its packaging. At least one mfg. currently has a small warning on its bags that the mulch could cause "stomach upset" in pets.
