I have seen it before and it comes in all different colors. I believe they make it from used tires. Have you ever used rubber mulch before?

NOPE AND NOT YET ~ But I watched it very beautiful sometimes they used it for landscaping purposes and playground area. Yes, you're right saying for its product made as it is a unique rubber granule product recycled from 100% scrap tires. Many benefits when using its various products for children playground to provides less injuries. For landscaping, its colorful really nice and provides less soil erosion.

I don't like the look of the rubber mulch. I doubt we'll be trying it anytime soon.

I have seen the rubber mulch but I don't think I would want it int a garden. I don't thiink it would be very good for a garden. If I had a walk way or a playground area then I would use it for that but around vegetables or flowers I would want a more natural mulch because when it desinagrates it would be better for the ground.

I have never heard of rubber mulch before, I did use mulch the first year we moved into our house but we didnt keep up with it..and we have changed our yard a couple times since we moved in and it was a mess all over the place so we never went back to using it....and again this year we have new plans for the yard so I am not sure if we will use it again this time either...but you never know. rubber mulch doesnt sound bad, but I am curious if on those hot days would it smell like rubber?? its nice to know that they are recycling the tires though.
