What is Dyed Mulch?

Un-dyed or natural mulch is the natural color of the wood bark. Therefore, it tends to be patchy and does not have a uniform color throughout its composition. Dyed mulch evens out the color and makes the mulch overall more attractive. Dyed mulch is most often available in brown, black, and red. Brown is ideal for creating a natural, woodsy feel while black is great for contrast. The color is typically created using vegetable dyes and other organic coloring agents.

Dyed mulch is mainly intended for aesthetic appeal, but it serves the same purpose as natural bark mulch while still adding an appeal which un-dyed mulch cannot. Even natural brown mulch will fade over time to a greyish color, but dyed mulch holds its color for much longer. For landscape artists and those who want to create scenic gardens, dyed mulch is a great option. It adds nourishment to the soil and helps retain air and moisture to help plants grow.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Dyed Mulch

Experts say that there are a few advantages and disadvantages to using dyed mulch. Here is what you should keep in mind when you are planning which type of mulch to buy:

Advantages:

• Vibrant and Attractive – Adding colors like red, black, and brown gives you an endless number of ways to make your landscape unique. These dyed mulches can provide contrast against your landscaping and help plants and flowers to pop or stand out. This is the primary benefit of dyed mulch and the reason many choose to use dyed mulch in their landscaping.
• Less Demand for Wood Fiber – Dyed mulch can be made from a range of wood fibers and does not necessarily have to be made from virgin wood. Even crates, sawmill waste, and junk pellets can be used for making dyed mulch. This reduces the instances of over-harvesting to create natural mulch.

Disadvantages:
The main disadvantage of dyed mulch is the risk of the color seeping into the ground. If the color used to dye the wood contains any contaminates, these are spread into the soil and can damaging the plants and their roots. At Kurtz Nursery, our soils are dyed with safe, non-toxic, and all-natural dyes that will not harm plants, people, or wildlife.
