The Risk Of Getting Toxic Mulch - And How To Avoid The Pitfalls
Mulching, these days, is starting to become popular, as a result of benefits it brings to the plants and soil in your garden beds. You will find one issue, though, at least in some parts of the country. That is a result of the main ingredient of a popular type of mulch in these parts being a shredded sawmill waste product, hardwood bark. The sawmills had complications dumping the waste bark which resulted from the practice of denuding the logs before sawing them.
Making use of the bark to create mulch was a handy solution for the lumber yards, but it's not perfect. In the form of a space-saving strategy, the bark is heaped into piles, which can get very high in winter when demand is low. The task is completed with front end loaders that, when driven up onto the piles of bark, excessively compress the waste, resulting in a problem for the gardener. As a way to decompose, the waste bark should be exposed to oxygen across a period of time, which means air has to flow through the pile. When it's overly compacted there's no air flow, causing the mulch to become extremely hot as it decomposes, even to the point of bursting into flames.
The mulch may become toxic on account of the build-up of the hot gases which cannot escape. This may well cause a foul odor, as you dig into the heap, and a bigger problem as you spread it around your plants. The pent-up gas inside the mulch is actually emitted, which can burn your plants. Surround your garden plants with this noxious matter and in a short space of time they will go from green to brown. If you happen to get a mulch heap like this and it gets dumped on your yard it could turn the grass brown. The hard part, you may not be able to tell good mulch from bad until the damage has already been done.
You cannot easily identify bad mulch by the smell, because while it has a strong smell when you dig into it, so does good mulch, and it's not that dissimilar. A darker color can also denote the mulch being bad, and if you would like to be safe then you could check it by surrounding a sacrificial plant with some of the mulch. Make certain that you take mulch from within the pile, and never on the edges. If nothing has happened to the garden plants for more than 24 hours, the mulch will be fine.
This situation probably isn't that major of a problem, but when it happens to you, you probably would have liked to know about it. It might not make you too pleased to put something on your plants, and later learn they were burned. Avoid toxic mulch by purchasing from a place you have confidence in and who can give you some type of guarantee or assurance - you do, after all, want to get the benefits of mulching.
