Important Points To Remember When Purchasing A Mulch Product
MULCH...organic material
spread on the ground around plants to prevent evaporation of
water from the soil. [Webster's Dictionary]
Today, just about everything that can be ground-up, from used
pallets to municipal yard waste can be colored, mixed, and sold
as mulch. Many of these products actually rob nutrients from
the soil as they decompose, and who knows what chemicals and
impurities they contain. These are the products you place around
your home and plants and we believe that you want to feel good
about your mulch and where it comes from.
Hart Brand mulch is one of the finest organic products now
available to assist homeowners, nurserymen, landscape, and lawn
and garden professionals.
The Mulch
Hart Brand Mulch does double-duty: The pine bark component
(commonly used in potting soil mix) sifts down into the soil
where it helps reduce compaction and adds nutrient content.
The pine wood shaving component stays on top to provide an attractive
insulating and moisture-retaining layer that meshes to help
minimize "wash-away" in heavy rains.
The Source
Hart Brand Mulch is produced by Mississippi Valley Forest Products,
Inc., a Midwestern company. You may be pleased to know that
we take environmental stewardship seriously by selectively thinning
the trees from which we make our products, and by planting tens
of thousands of pine seedlings each year to replenish what we
have used.
If you are thinking about mulch products, think about our environment
and consider the health of your plants and the soil in which
they grow. Hart Brand Pine Bark Mulch and Soil Conditioner is
a product you can feel good about and we invite you to give
it a try.
