Aged, Shredded Mulch

Aged, shredded mulch is an organic ground cover material produced by processing natural wood and bark through shredding equipment, then allowing it to decompose over time. The aging process breaks down the mulch fibers, resulting in a finer, more uniform texture that is easier to spread and integrate into soil.

The shredded attribute ensures the mulch knits together well, helping it stay in place on slopes and around plants, while the aging reduces the risk of nitrogen depletion in the soil and enhances nutrient availability. This makes aged, shredded mulch ideal for residential and commercial landscaping, garden beds, tree rings, and pathways. Its improved moisture retention, weed suppression, and soil temperature regulation benefit both ornamental and edible plantings. A potential drawback is that, being lighter and finer, it may decompose faster than coarser mulches, requiring more frequent replenishment. However, its ease of use and soil-enriching qualities make it a popular choice for both DIY gardeners and professional landscapers.
