Vigoro 2 cu. ft. Premium Brown Wood Shredded Bagged Mulch

Andre No, brown colored mulch will not kill flowers when used properly. The colorant used is safe—it is made from food‑grade clay and iron oxide, which are non‑toxic to plants, pets, and people. Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature; issues only occur if it’s applied too thick (over 3–4 inches), piled against plant stems, or used in poorly drained soil. Applied correctly and kept slightly away from plant bases, it’s safe and beneficial.

suzanne That’s a very reasonable question, especially with a pet using the area regularly. For the 2 cu. ft. Premium Brown Wood Shredded Bagged Mulch sold at The Home Depot, the colorant used is a clay‑based, mineral pigment. More specifically, the brown color comes from naturally occurring iron‑oxide pigments (the same class of pigments used in foods, animal feed, cosmetics, and landscaping materials). These pigments are suspended in a water‑based solution and applied to the wood fibers; no solvents or petroleum‑based dyes are used.
