Cocoa Mulch (2000 liters)

Cocoa Mulch / Cocoa Shells (2000 Liters)

The original Biological Cocoa Mulch, the best quality available for cocoa mulch/cocoa shells.

Would you like to keep slugs and many types of insects out of your garden? Then cocoa mulch is the perfect choice. Cocoa mulch is also highly effective at suppressing weeds, giving you more time to enjoy your garden instead of weeding. Cocoa mulch consists of small, attractive shells that are easy to spread.

Cocoa mulch/cocoa shells are a unique product that creates a beautiful dark ground cover in your garden. Made from the shells of cocoa beans, this is a 100% biological product.

This mulch improves the soil's health and balance while adding essential nutrients. Cocoa shells are especially rich in nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen, making them ideal for roses, which thrive in this mulch. These nutrients also encourage the growth of beneficial microorganisms that many plants, including roses, love.

Cocoa mulch is also suitable for plants like rhododendrons, as its relatively low pH value of 5-6 supports their growth.

Why Choose Cocoa Mulch?

This is a truly unique product with many excellent properties. Cocoa mulch/cocoa shells can be used almost anywhere—flower beds, hedges, landscaping projects, and more. However, we do not recommend using it on walkways with heavy foot traffic.

How to Use Cocoa Mulch/Cocoa Shells

To achieve the best results when spreading cocoa mulch, follow these steps:

1. Remove all weeds from the area.
2. Thoroughly water the area so the soil is moist, helping the mulch adhere to it.
3. Spread a layer of mulch no thicker than 5 cm, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
4. Water the mulch thoroughly. Do not water the mulch again for the next few weeks.

Over time, a natural, invisible crust forms on the mulch, which keeps it in place and prevents it from blowing away. This crust also retains soil moisture, a particularly valuable feature in the spring.

After some time, you might notice a slight growth of mold. This is entirely harmless and will disappear on its own.

Available Sizes and Coverage

Cocoa mulch is delivered in four different big bag sizes (1000 liters / 2000 liters / 3000 liters / 4000 liters), allowing you to select the perfect amount for your project. The big bags are equipped with a cover to keep the mulch dry until you are ready to use it. This cover can be removed and replaced as needed, allowing the product to stay dry outdoors for as long as necessary.

• 2000 liters cover 40 m² with a 5 cm layer.
• 3000 liters cover 60 m² with a 5 cm layer.

Benefits of Cocoa Mulch for Your Garden and the Environment

Using cocoa mulch is an excellent way to enrich your soil while being environmentally friendly. Since 1996, cocoa shells have been used in Denmark and the Nordic countries, avoiding the practice of burning them as waste—a common practice at many European power plants.

By using cocoa mulch, you benefit both your garden and nature. Many gardeners now use it professionally, and private garden owners are also achieving surprisingly good results.

Cocoa mulch effectively suppresses weeds, repels slugs and ants, insulates the soil during winter to protect plants, and retains soil moisture in summer. Over time, the shells decompose into nutrient-rich humus, with approximately 2 cm turning into humus annually.

This creates a wonderful cycle where cocoa shells return to nature.

Cocoa Mulch Bigbag Delivery

We deliver cocoa mulch in big bags of various sizes, offering delivery methods tailored to your needs. Choose from three options:

Standard Delivery

Included in the price, this option delivers the big bag to your curb or driveway. For rural properties without a driveway or curb, it will be unloaded near the truck. This is a convenient solution but may require some additional effort to move the mulch.

Mobile Truck Delivery

For those needing the big bag closer to the garden bed, a mobile truck is the solution. The truck is only 2.3 meters wide and requires minimal turning space, allowing it to access most areas and surfaces. However, we advise against driving on wet grass, as the truck’s weight may leave marks.

Crane Delivery

This option is ideal if the mulch needs to be lifted over a hedge or fence.
