Today’s consumer is more environmentally friendly, from the food we eat to the cars we purchase. But what about the mulch you use? You use it because it is good for your plants and garden, it also makes your landscape look amazing. But how safe is your mulch?
Would you still think the same about your mulch if you knew it was loaded with toxins and hazardous chemicals? Topping your plants off with a layer of chromatic copper arsenate or one of the many harmful chemicals and contaminants that can lead to serious health risks.
Buyer Beware
It is important to know the source of your mulch. The last thing you want is to have remnants of former buildings, treated wood, pallets, fences, and construction debris in your mulch. This also means things you can’t see, such as paint, varnishes, chemicals, and toxins.
“Pressure treated (chromium, copper, and arsenic, CCA) lumber has enough toxic chemicals to qualify as a hazardous waste. It’s hard to believe but just one 12 foot long 2×6 piece of CCA lumber contains enough arsenic (one ounce) to kill over 200 people. But what’s even more unbelievable is that industry lobbyist in Washington, D.C secured an exemption of CCA treated wood from hazardous waste disposal laws,” from Joe Lamp’L, Growing A Greener World.
