Mulch leaches any chemicals into your soil. Pallets are required to be sprayed with toxic chemicals. Landscape trimmings often contain herbicides and pesticides. Natural wood chips build the soil underneath.

Why Natural Wood Chips Are Better Than Mulch

Mulch and wood chips get sold side by side, but they are not the same product. Most bulk and bagged mulch is manufactured. Natural wood chips are simply chipped trees. Here is what that means for your garden.

  • Natural Wood Chips

    ✔️ Made from whole tree, wood, bark, and leaf

    ✔️ No dye and no coloring, just natural wood

    ✔️ Clean single source, no pallet or scrap wood

    ✔️ Breaks down into living soil and feeds fungal networks

    ✔️ Mixed wood, bark, and leaf feed a fuller soil food web

    ✔️ No treatment chemicals, which matters around vegetables and fruit trees

  • Typical Mulch

    ❌ Not landscape trimmings often laced with chemical, and mixed waste

    ❌ Frequently dyed black, brown, or red to look uniform

    ❌ Pallet and scrap wood can carry treatment chemicals

    ❌ Mixed landscape waste can carry herbicide residue

    ❌ Bark and dyed product mostly sit on top as decoration

    ❌ Dyed color fades over time and can bleed onto walks and hands
NATURAL WOOD CHIPS (OURS) TYPICAL MULCH
