Product Description
Hull Farm Cocoa Shell Mulch (2 cubic foot bags), Full Truckload FREE SHIPPING
Product Summary
Hull Farm Cocoa Shell Mulch in 2 cubic foot bags brings natural brown color and a cocoa aroma to flower beds, vegetable gardens, and landscaped planting areas. Made from roasted cocoa bean shells recovered during chocolate production, this decorative mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and moderate soil temperatures. As the shells gradually decompose, they contribute organic matter and nutrients to the soil.
Our 20-pallet full truckload contains 60 bags per pallet, totaling 1,200 bags and 2,400 cubic feet of cocoa shell mulch. Individually packaged bags make it practical to distribute material across landscape projects and planting beds. Free shipping is available on eligible orders; delivery location and inventory availability may affect freight charges.

Product Questions & Answers
1. How many pallets are included in a full truckload?
A full truckload contains 20 pallets. Please have a forklift onsite at the scheduled delivery time to unload the pallets from the truck.
2. How should I apply cocoa shell mulch?
Spread an even layer approximately 2 inches thick, lightly pack it down, and water thoroughly to help the shells bind together.
3. Is cocoa shell mulch safe for dogs to eat?
No. Cocoa shells contain theobromine and caffeine, which are poisonous to dogs. Prevent access by dogs that may eat the mulch.
4. Why might mold appear on the mulch surface?
Warm, humid conditions or excessive watering can encourage surface mold. Allowing the mulch to dry helps address it.
5. Will I need to replenish cocoa shell mulch?
Yes. The shells naturally decompose over time. Add small amounts as needed to maintain the intended mulch depth.
