Mulch Glue - Black Color 2-in-1 Mulch Dye & Glue for Landscaping, Super Strength Landscape Adhesive Landscape Lock, Fast-Dry, Non-Toxic, Mulch Binder Glue, Pea Gravel, Adhesive Max Mulch Glue (32OZ)

It works as described. I applied it to pine straw. Diluting will lighten the color from dark red to a dark to lighter orange. It sticks and my blower can’t blow my pine straw away. It’s stuck in place.

Substance needed to be thin out to spread correctly

So I have a landscaping project that I am in the middle of and and still going back and forth on how I want it all to turn out in the end. So I got this to test a small section of it. I was originally going to rocks and use the mulch glue to hold them in place but when I came across this red mulch glue…I figured I would give this a try.I used a very small amount and as you can see from the photo…I think the color pops nicely and most of all it’s held in place super sturdy with really good adhesion. With everything in place it will make it really easy to clean off the leaves from the fall time..which is a usual issue for me and I end up messing things up as I’m picking up leaves. I think this is gunna work out great!I will be getting more and expanding past the little section I have shown in the photo to completely transform the area that I’m working with!I would suggest starting with the small bottle and do a little test area like I did. Then go big once you know it will work for you.I can tell you though that this stuff is a good price and the quality really is 5 stars. Give it a try!

Used this product to restore color to the once black bark used around our fruit trees as well as for the reasons described on the product page (prevent displacement etc.) I used a hudson sprayer to distribute over the existing mulch, using a 2-1 water mixture. The weather worn bark regained the dark black color nicely. To get proper coverage you need to use a rake to re-distribute the bark in order to get better coverage. (otherwise only top of grayed bark gets dye treatment. That will easily result in two coats being applied which does a decent job of returning the color, but without doing something like used a roller, the gluing effect was less effective. At best sections clumped together - primarily because the amount of random contact the bark actually has with the surrounding bark. I could have done a 3rd coat, but I wanted to be sure to have enough liquid to get all of the black bark around 5 trees. I needed to use the sprayer pretty conservatively to get it all done, and again the color returns, but the gluing less so, especially if you're trying to stretch the product. So I guess you need to have a lot on hand, use it very liberally to get the better results. I'd probably look for just a dye solution moving forward and accept that the birds, dogs, deer and leaf blowers are going to mess with the bark no matter what you do.

This glue is designed to bond to several types of landscaping material but I tried it on mulch. It was easy to apply using a sprayer. I sprayed my mulch late evening to keep the dogs from tracking through while it dried since it has dye included. It dried overnight, securing the mulch in place! I love that it also gives an attractive sheen even after it dries. I am looking forward to extending the life of my mulch with less routine maintenance!

Not worth it

Bought this product to help save the mulch at one of my rental property’s. Goes on white so you can see where you have applied. Dryer the desired color within 1-2 hrs. Simple’s directions to follow and even comes with gloves so you don’t get a mess on your hands.

I ordered this product for lava rocks and the rocks I first purchased were old and faded looking so I was kind of disappointed. I sprayed this down and to say I love the way it looks is an understatement! The only caveat is you will need a lot. I made a second order batch and I plan on using a watering can to lock it in place better. When I sprayed it the coverage was very even but didn't get much stickage. I will spray it for even looks then use a watering can to flood it and lock it in place. i think I will do black on the other side of my yard. Big tip to save a sprayer is use paint thinner right after to avoid clogs. You can even reuse the paint thinner
