Q: Are there any mulches or ground cover that don't act ground bees?
submitted by Laura - 1 month ago
A: Hi Laura! To discourage ground bees, consider using landscape fabric or heavy wood chips as mulch, as they create a barrier that bees can't dig through, or opt for bee-unfriendly ground covers like creeping phlox, sweet woodruff, or ice plant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has a nice color and looks good around my flowers. It doesn't have a strong odor like some mulch can. I'll definitely need to grab a few more bags to be able to finish covering my flower beds.
Great product

Msstressica - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
It's hard to find an affordable organic mulch, so I was happy to see this pop up on the shelves. Now, while I know insects are inevitable in gardening, nothing prepared me for opening this bag. Fungus gnats all up on my face, crawling around through the wood. I understand, I UNDERSTAND fungus gnats happen, EVENTUALLY, especially when working with products containing organic matter, but I don't need them flying out at me the second I open the bag. Maybe this wouldn't be my experience with a second bag, but I honestly don't know if I'm willing to take the chance.

It maintains moisture in my flower beds. The mulch is clearly black but after a couple of weeks it has changed color from black to brown. Puzzling? That’s why the product is not a 5.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely fantastic organic premium mulch! The black bark not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of my garden but also enriches the soil with its natural nutrients. One cubic foot goes a long way, covering ample ground with its quality texture. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their gardening game!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Organic Premium mulch looks good and works very well, it retains moisture and prevents weeds from growing and it adds a rich brown color to your garden. I like that there’s not a strong Odor at all like others. The main problem was the weeds popping out in the rocks in my front yard in an area of flowers and bushes and this product stopped that from happening giving the plants more time to be hydrated too.
Great!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been planning on working on my garden for a couple of months but once I received this mulch from Influenster was very happy and motivated to start as soon as it arrived! It’s a very good way to decorate and at the same time prevents those little unwanted grass to peak out. The bag comes with a great amount to mulch and it’s not too heavy to carry which is a plus! In my opinion it didn’t smell too strong; it’s like soil. Great for those places where you want your plants to be the protagonists and prevent unwanted grass.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mulch seems good. We’ll see how long it lasts but it looks good in the yard and was easy to use. Unsure about the money, given that it was provided for free with a review required.
