Solarfast™ Mulch Dye
You’ve weeded, planted your annuals and bulbs and laid a thick layer of brown, black or red mulch only to see it fade to a dry, sickly bone gray within the first season. Why is it that some types of mulches can fade so quickly? Natural, organically sourced woods will fade quickly and, although there are a number of contributing factors, extreme weather and exposure to sunlight are the leading culprits of faded mulch. Fortunately for you, Solarfast™ Mulch Dye is exactly what you need to bring the color back to your faded mulch. But, how does it work? Read on and discover why our revolutionary, premium quality Solarfast™ Mulch Dye is the answer to your gardening prayers.
How Mulch Is Made
Step 1
Recycled wood is ground at a processing facility that creates smaller wood fibers also known as bare mulch.
Step 2
The wood is then dried. Living wood and freshly felled, green timber contains copious amounts of water. In addition to drying the wood, this phase also ensures that the mulch is pest and pathogen-free.
Step 3
The dried, bare mulch next enters a coloring system wherein super-concentrated, environmentally sound colorants are mixed with water which is used to treat the wood fibers.
Step 4
The dyed mulch is dried and cured again so that the colorant completely encapsulates the wood.
