Walnut Mulch

Walnut mulch is an organic ground cover made from the bark and wood of walnut trees. This natural material is prized for its rich, dark color and ability to enhance the appearance of garden beds and landscaped areas. Walnut mulch is typically shredded or chipped, providing a textured finish that helps retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth.

The unique attribute of being derived from walnut wood means this mulch is especially durable and slow to decompose, making it a long-lasting choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects. However, it's important to note that walnut mulch contains juglone, a natural compound that can inhibit the growth of certain sensitive plants. For this reason, it's best used around established trees, shrubs, and ornamental beds rather than vegetable gardens or areas with juglone-sensitive species. Walnut mulch is valued for its decorative appeal, moisture retention, and weed control, making it a practical and attractive option for a variety of outdoor applications.
