Red Mulch Dye, 12,800 Square Feet Coverage – Mulch Colorant for Landscaping & Garden Beds, Wood Mulch Dye, Mulch Color Restorer & Playground Bark Mulch, Eco-Friendly Mulch Paint, 1-Gallon

I like that it applies easily. It's a bit messy so you need to be careful when mixing it. I applied it with a gallon pump sprayer and it worked fine. Turned the old and faded mulch dark again. Took a damp rag which easily wiped off any overspray on leaves etc. applied it a couple weeks ago, so I'll see how long it holds up in the south Florida sun.

I now know why the local Home Depot and Lowes stores don't carry this product in stock - they wouldn't sell as much mulch. this product is unbelievable and well worth the purchase. I mixed about twice the recommended concentrated amount with warm water, and it really bring the mulch back to life. Highly recommended and will be definitely buying again in the future - the most important part is making sure you have a high output sprayer to apply coating.

Takes longer to spray faded mulch that to refresh with newCan spray on dirt or bare spots and some bush trimmings that can’t be raked up but does not hold color long

I had a large area to cover, and I'm pretty cheap. I got a shredded tree for free from Chip Drop, but it was natural tree color. After spreading it and letting it dry, I used this chip dye with a 4-gallon backpack pump sprayer and got these results. I'm really happy! This was two coats, and probably a 150 sq.ft. area. I still have over half a gallon left. Mix per instructions or you could get clogged sprayer if the mixture is too thick. This stains the top layer and a little further down, but keep a small spray bottle of dye handy to fix any areas where unstained chips get stirred to the top (not really a problem if you're just touching up faded mulch or chips). Including before and after pics.

I spent close to $1000 on mulch last year and I was also concerned with chocking the soil with too much mulch so I decided to give this product a try. It performs as expected and it is absorbed quickly by my existing mulch. Some videos say two coats but mine seems to work just fine with one (although I did use a stronger concentration). I do not know the area it covers but the claim to cover a large square footage seems legit as I even had some left to spare.A few tips I got from the web: wear clothes that you don’t mind staining. Wear disposable gloves and glasses. Fill it up in an area that can get stained without a problem. Make sure it is warm and dry when you apply.I do not expect rain in the next couple of days so I will make an update it anything washes out.

I do like this product but…. It is very messy and blocks the sprayer up eventuallyIt does dye the mulch and nice rich brown and last over years

I'm not a fan of dyed mulch. That being said I had a customer with way too much mulch to add more without removing some and she didn't want to pay for that. So... we opted to try dying it in place. It's easy to apply with a pump sprayer, although I can never use that sprayer for anything else now since it is pretty clogged up with the dye. It looked great, just like new once I put it on, but it fades FAST. Maybe a month and it needed to be reapplied. Easy enough to do, and certainly cheaper than buying more mulch.

For the last three years I have been using the EnviroColor brand mulch colorant. I started with their brown (2 summers) and eventually ended up with the black stuff. The EnviroColor product worked really great however it's definitely more expensive (twice the cost). Their coverage is 2600sf for about $28 vs this stuff is $56 for supposedly 12800sf.Here is the problem this stuff SUCKS. I'm sorry, there is no other way to state it. I have about twenty arborvitaes and several Australian pines on the property. If you have these you know they endlessly drop needles which are sharp pointy and turn a pretty brown/ orange color, (Being sarcastic about color). Well with the EnviroColor product no problem, just spray them and they totally blend into the mulch no need to spend hours raking them in or trying to get them out of the mulch bed. This product however made ZERO impact on those needles!Secondly sometimes you run into dead leaves. The EnviroColor once again, spray it and it's completely blended into the mulch, this stuff, NOTHING the product just runs right off the leaf's surface leaving it the same ugly brown.Lastly grass, sometimes you overlook a bit of grass growing up in the flowerbed. I've sprayed it and with this product it's still visible, whereas with the EnviroColor product it would just have turned jet black immediately.Now does it color mulch? yes, but even then it's not a dark black like fresh mulch, It took me twice as long to get decent coverage and even then it wasn't great, I even went back and double coated it as per directions and it still looked bad. (I never had to double coat with the other brand) The EnviroColor product gave me a very deep black color and I was able to spray it further away and at a faster rate.Now I will admit that color only lasts about a month (with the EnviroColor) but it does a nice job. I can't talk about durability of this product as I just received my gallon and used 20 ounces (4 gallons) and decided it wasn't worth teh effort to continue. Being a Prime member I just set up my return and will order the product that I know will work.For the record I followed the directions to the letter. My first batch 4oz of product to 1 gallon of water well shaken to ensure it's mixed and the disappointment was IMMEDIATE. OK, so next 2 batches @ 5oz of product to 1 gallon of water and same thing, poor coverage. Last batch 6 yes SIX oz to 1 gallon and still disappointing.I will go back and pay extra to use a product that covers any problem areas I may have, and also saves me time and effort. I might not have said that a few years ago but as I get older I appreciate when things just do what they are supposed to. The main difference between the two products seems pretty obvious while this is mostly a liquid the EnviroColor product is more like a thick tar substance.

I garden for a living and I find that customers with natural brown mulch don't love how it fades over time. There isn't a brown dyed product available in bulk and natural mulches only have soil mixed in for coloring. I've been excited to try this product for a while. It looks great when applied and hasn't run in the rain. I would say it doesn't go as far as the package claims but that's fine.Once it's opened it gets thicker and thicker and the package says you have 5 days to use it. I bought a deck sprayer with a wider hose and used the largest fan nozzle based on other reviews here. It does tend to gum up the sprayer though. I would recommend having a bucket of soapy water on hand and the tools to disassemble your sprayer to keep cleaning it out handy. With all the unclogging it is a slow process. If you have to open the sprayer under pressure to unclog it it can be very messy. I would recommend having your whole area prepped and then just working start to finish to get it done before it thickens. It does clean up well with water immediately if you have a spill.In brown it does give the look you've always dreamed of So I think it's worth it. Personally, I would use this and recommend it for brown dye but would rather just top up red or black mulch with a thin layer to get a fresh look. You can see in the picture the stop line on last year's natural mulch. The homeowner was thrilled with the result. I will very likely use this product in the future.

I like the price point. Good value.
