It is comprised of composted bark, as all good mulch should be, as this gives it the rich dark coloring as well as its nutritional value; and pine, cedar, and hemlock chips that are dyed with a charcoal-based dye for color-match. The purpose for the chips is to add bulk and for moisture retention and evaporation protection. The combination of bark and chips make this mulch the most versatile and functional, and the color makes it the best-looking. By far the best mulch money can buy.

I do not think that bark mulch is any different than other mulch due to the fact that they are all a wood product. I prefer bark mulch as it lasts longer. I lives in a Condo and we have a landscape horticulist and he states that bark mulch breeds termites more than any other type. Is there documentation on this, and if there is would you e-mail it to me. I do not believe that mulch should be used near a home that is frame. Insects are in this and a wood home need not to have mulch near wood. Is this correct? Thank You Is it true that bark mulch breeds termites?
