Natural Cedar Chips (4 Quart); A Great Addition to Your Home Decor

Product Information

Just as a cedar chest or a cedar-lined closet repels moths from linens and clothes, cedar mulch can fend off or kill such insects as cockroaches, termites, and ants. Cedar mulch also repels pollinators and beneficial insects; this is the flip side of its pest control qualities: it will also affect the ecosystem negatively, and, especially if you want your plants to fruit or produce seeds, cedar mulch is not a good choice.

Property owners love how cedar chips can repel a variety of insects including cloth-eating moths, carpet beetles, cockroaches, and certain types of ants. Our shavings and sawdust come from planer shavings and table saw dust, with no sanding dust or floor trash.

Upgrade your woodworking projects with all-natural, chemical-free Western Cedar Wood Shavings and Sawdust! Grass cuttings are often used as a mulch, which you could save up from mowing your own lawn, or ask your neighbor if you could have their grass cuttings.

The pros definitely outweigh the cons when it comes to installing cedar chips in your landscape beds. It does this by minimizing moisture evaporation, as it provides a physical barrier between soil and air. I notice woodworms like it very much as evidence by their presence in my stash of walnut cabinet wood. My point is that you could have a third plant mulched with good compost doing five times better than the plant mulched with cedar compost.If you’re conscious of keeping costs low, then cedar mulch probably won’t be the most economical option. A common tip for gardeners to help keep their soil moist for longer is to ‘mulch over the soil,’ but what does this actually entail, and which mulch is best? This is because wet mulch pressed up against the stem or trunk can cause the plant to rot; it also deprives the trunk or airflow, which can encourage disease ( Royal Horticultural Society). Though the difference per bag might be quite small, this could really add up if you have a large area to cover.

Beneficial bugs help to naturally control the population of pests in the garden, and they also have other benefits, including pollinating your plants to help flowers or fruits develop. Cedar mulch will help to regulate the temperature of the soil, creating a more stable year-round environment for your plants.The best option for you depends on the type of animal you are caring for and what the litter is used for. I know people say not to use cedar planks for raised beds because something in the wood inhibits some plant growth. Perfect for arts and crafts, scent bags, potted plant top mulch, a natural weed barrier, fire bricks, mushroom cultivation, animal bedding, pet litter, compost, and more! Helpful at adding more nutrients and retaining moisture, it’s important to be careful where you place that mulch.
