Sweet Peet - a natural alternative to dyed mulches As a superior soil conditioner, Sweet Peet is fortified with farm manure and reduces nitrogen-borrowing when tilled in around root zones of plantings. It adds tilth to the soil and aids in moisture retention. Unlike cedar, pine and bark by-products which are used with acid loving plants, Sweet Peet benefits all other plantings, and its regular use can eliminate the need for applying caustic limestone. Sweet Peet has a sweet, earthy smell. It differs form many mulches and soil amendments in that it contains no human waste and no construction/demolition debris. It only contains virgin wood products, farm manure and plant fibers, and derives its color from naturally occurring tannins which are permanently baked in, giving it the dark color and texture it is famous for. It is safe for children, pets, plants and all living things. A natural product formulated for our changing environment, Sweet Peet is especially beneficial in the Eastern United States where existing acid soils are further aggravated by sulfur emissions and acid rain. It is weed free and qualifies in any organic certification program. |
