In my mind it doesnt really serve all the purposes that a mulch should. All it really does is block light from hitting the soil, which is important, but I like a mulch that can hold a lot of water, kind of like a sponge, and help mediate moisture release into the soil. When it comes to providing a habitat for beneficial organisms, coco again doesn't really stand up to some other types of mulch mixes.
coco mulch doesn't make much sense to me either. i think of mulch materials more like straw or rice hulls & even things like burlap or shade cloth. i mulch w/ ewc or compost sometimes to kind of humus in my greener additions {like dynamic accumulators esp alfalfa} but i cover those w/ rice hulls & i also like to shred dried canna stems for a nice mulch
anyway, a separate, drier, high carbon material to shade the top, keep moisture in & create a little habitat in that top layer
thanks for chiming in guys. Cocoa Shell Mulch is what i was asking about.
I spelled it wrong. I do have dogs but they do not have access to my indoor garden.
