Peach Country Premium Mulch Color Concentrate - 11,200 Sq. Ft. - Pure Red Mulch Dye Spray (1 Gallon)

Bought this to dye some Scotts mulch that faded in only 6 months! Hopefully this lasts a while. It was super easy to apply and looks great. I’ll update the this review when this loses its color to let everyone know how long it lasts.

UPDATE: Added a third photo to show the growth since it was applied a few months ago. The grass is healthier and growing like I've never seen. If anything, it's proof that it isn't harsh if it gets on your plants.—We trimmed our Black Mondo and unfortunately, left most of it with dead ends. It looked terrible. I tried doing more precision cutting with a sharp hand tool but it was taxing and wasn’t showing much improvement.Thought I would try this mulch spray (black) on whim to see if it would help. Not only was it easy but the grass now looks ten times better. It’s even held up well in the Pac NW rain.I used 1/8 of the dose in a small glass spray bottle and sprayed in small sections. It went on easy and the project only took about 15-20 minutes, including the time it took me to mix two more bottles.The black paint can get messy if you aren’t careful but it cleans off easily with soap and water.

I purchased a gallon of this and have put it down a couple hours at a time. I went pretty slow - back and forth so I wouldn’t have to put down the recommended second coat. After a few heavy rains I’d have to say it holds up pretty good. I think I’ll do this every Spring until the mulch breaks down enough to need to be replaced.My suggestions:- obviously apply on a little to no wind day. Tweak the nozzle setting. At first I used more of steam than a spray. While this is nice for shooting it further, it does splatter more.- I bought one of those cheap plastic flexible snow sleds. This works great for spraying around stuff you don’t want sprayed. You’ll need a partner to hold it in place and it bends around in all kinds of shapes or to protect a sidewalk. I thought about cardboard since it’s free, but this sled was worth it.- I used a new 2 gallon sprayer I purchased 5 years ago but never used. If I was buying a new sprayer I’d try to get the longest wand possible (24”?), as your back will get sore bending over.- I used 1.5 cups per 2 gallons. I think next time I’ll buy a new 2 cup measuring cup with a spout so it’s easier to pour into the sprayer.- fill the sprayer slow. This dye foams up and can over flow quick with foam but you need more water.- next time I’ll probably do it in June - after all the seeds come off the nearby trees. One tree covered my freshly stained mulch.- I got some on my arm - it washed right off with soap. I thought I’d be stained for a couple weeks.Good luck!

Works but is a lot of work and also every time you weed after using this you will stain your fingers or gloves. My cat who loves to lay in my flowerbeds went from a white and gray cat to a white gray and slightly brownish red tinted cat. The flowerbeds look nicer than before when they were not stained at all but as soon as the mulch gets moved you have spots that no longer are the same color. Also make sure you are mixing it while you are spraying because it settles and the color looks darker or lighter in some areas. This could work for you if you just have a little area or need to touch up stained but sun bleached areas but it would be better to just buy already stained mulch for a big area.Update a few weeks later the stain is more red than brown do to sun fading. Still darker but maybe the black would have been a better color for fading.

This stuff will save you money, and a lot of bad breaking time, but you have to be very careful! I purchased a cheap pump sprayer for application, and a little goes a long way! Please be sure you mask off anything you do not want this to come in contact with. It will stain your plants, concrete, and anything else it touches.

Absolute crap! First off it smells horrible. I think it froze or was old or something. And it’s not dye it’s some sort of crappy paint that has zero longevity. Got it all over my hands because the sprayer kept clogging and it washed right off no dark finger nails. The putrid smell of it was enough to make you sick! It smelled like rotten eggs. And it’s so thick I could barely get it out of the container. Don’t waste your money.

The color is great but it is pretty thick to spray through a sprayer even with more water added. The sprayer clogged a lot.

Mulch we bought did not hold it's color long at all and after the cost and work to put down, I thought we'd try this. Gotta say - looks amazing and was really easy. Bought a Chapin 15$ sprayer and used a solo cup to measure the dye. Wore long sleeves, rubber gardening gloves, cheap shoes and had great results! Definitely doing the rest of our tired mulch. A little dye goes a long way and yes it's stains anything in addition to the mulch if not careful. It is dye after all! Already placed an order for a 2nd bottle. Picture is sprayed on left with 5oz brown dye mixture and the before view on the right. I did 2 coats.
