Re: source for organic coir

[Guest guest]

I've use cocoa mulch for years and have never seen any animal take the slightest

interest in it. My neighbors dog lives on year after year even though it can

walk right into my cocoa mulched rose bed. I think 99% of dogs are smart enough

to know that something is not food. And as to the 1%, nature has it's ways of

thinning the herd when someone demonstrates that it is too stupid to live.

And we still don't know what the amazon reviewer was talking about. I was

thinking that coir is used by people as reptile bedding maybe he was afraid it

would kill his snake or lizard. It is useless to speculate about the concerns of

stupid people.

> Cocoa mulch is not an urban myth. I have used it around my shrubs to keep cats

from digging. It works. It is supposed to toxic to dogs because it actually is

cocoa. I don't own a dog, so I can use it in the back. I don't put it in front

where dogs may eat it.

is a mulch that smells like chocolate and will attract dogs to eat it. It may

have some sort of cocoa used in it. (And chocolate is toxic to dogs.) I've also

heard this (cocoa mulch) is an urban myth. I don't have any direct experience,

but think this is probably what the Amazon review is mistakenly referring to.
