How Does Your Garden Grow?

April 6, 2006



Gardeners who use cocoa mulch unwittingly put dogs at risk.

The mulch is made from the hulls of cocoa beans and contains theobromine, an
ingredient also found in chocolate, which can be harmful to dogs. Attracted
by the scent, some dogs eat the mulch, consuming quantities large enough to
be toxic. To keep your dog safe and your garden green, use bark mulch as an
alternative.
