Guest guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I wonder what the reviewer thought coir is used for. First it has the OMRI stamp on it, so it can't be toxic. Second I use it for my worm beds and thay seem to like it a lot. ew Re: source for organic coir Did you read the review that someone left on this product. They called it TOXIC!! I wonder why they said that? Melody > > > This is a link for organic coir from Sea Leaves. I found it on amazon.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 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. re Re: source for organic coir I think the reviewer is mixing up " coco " with " cocoa. " I have heard that there 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.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I think I saw that too and it was dangerous for dogs. So whichever it was, it was a problem if you had a dog.
