## Description

Hull Farm 50150 Cocoa Bean Shell Mulch, 2 Cubic Feet

Review: Good sub for nut mulch to deter squirrels - Had used pecan mulch for our flower planters last year, but the squirrels kept digging in them. Tried this coco mulch & they don’t seem to be as excited about it. Smell is strong when first added. We don’t have dogs so no worry about them eating it. Doesn’t blow away too easily & keeps soil moist.
Review: Cocoa - Perfect and smells like chocolate

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does it cost so much?  It is $9.99 if you order the same exact product from Ace.  How is this different?**
A: Can’t find it at ACE or anywhere, they stopped supplying it in our area

**Q: 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**
A: 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.

**Q: Is this mulch certified organic?  In the description it says "wholly organic," but not clear if they actually mean certified.**
A: Cocoa shell mulch is also known as cocoa bean mulch, cocoa bean hull mulch, and cocoa mulch. When cocoa beans are roasted, the shell separates from the bean. The roasting process sterilizes the shells so that they are weed free and organic.

**Q: 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?**
A: 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smells Heavenly if You Think Chocolate is Heaven!
*by I***G on June 18, 2017*

Many years ago I used to find this at the local big box stores with no problems. However, apparently because careless people let their dogs run around and eat it out of other peoples yards, it is now harder to find. That said, even though I am paying triple of what I used to pay, I don't regret it a bit. I have a very small planting area in the front of my house, which is a covered courtyard. Like I said, it's pretty small. However, after putting the mulch down - I use it more as a cushion for container plants rather than planting directly in the horrible Las Vegas soil – I love it. It looks beautiful and it smells even better. We are currently going through a heat wave and every time I open my front door I get a blast of heat and chocolate. Mmmm! I have ordered bags of cocoa hull mulch from various online vendors, and have received everything from super dried out to damp and moldy. Most had little or no scent, which is one of the attractions of this mulch. This is the first bag that I received that is exactly the way that I remembered. Despite the cost, I highly recommend this mulch. Since we live in such disparate climates throughout the country, naturally, your results may be different from mine. However, since I have used this type of product before, I know what to expect. For my needs, it is absolutely perfect! And no, the chocolate fragrance does not last forever, but it is so worth enjoying while it is there!
