Mulching Material For Plants Made From Shredded Newspapers
We make decorative mulching material for plants using shredded newspapers for use around garden plants, newly planted trees, and indoor plants. "Magic Mulch" conserves soil moisture, restricts weed growth, and provides disease control. It's also biodegradable so it can be worked into the soil at the end of the growing season. We've converted newspapers into the form of discs, sheets, and pellets. Colors include greens and earth tones as well as undyed or gray.
The 1/4-in. thick discs have a hole in the middle and a slit that extends from it to the outside edge of the disc, allowing the disc to be bent and slipped around the base of the plant. Rectangular sheets are designed to be placed between rows of plants, and pellets can be used with potted house plants.
