Subject: [CANUFNET] shredded rubber mulch

 

Hi.

 

I'm seeing this stuff occasionally. To me it looks and feels like it's made from shredded tires and comes in a variety of colours. Is it really any good as a mulch or is it just a creative re-use of old tires that turns one environmental problem into another? Thoughts?

 

Just being curious,
