Vigoro Premium Wood Mulch But thanks to the brand's "12-month color guarantee," Vigoro says the color shouldn't fade in that length of time. However, like all wood mulch, it breaks down over time, and like all colorized mulch, it will fade over time.

This dyed wood mulch does not break down to enrich the soil as good mulch should. Instead, it leaches the dye along with the possible contaminants (chromium, copper, arsenic, and others) into the soil harming or even killing beneficial soil bacteria, insects, earthworms, and sometimes the plants themselves.

Over time, mulch colors fade due to frequent exposure to sunlight. Regular non-dyed mulch may become a grayish color in one to two months, while dyed brown or black mulches may keep their color for a year or longer. Eventually, all mulches will fade without maintenance.

Carbon Carbon, used to produce black mulch, is an element often used for ink or paint. Both bases for these dyes are considered natural, non-toxic and safe for handling. Most other colours are made with vegetable-based colourants, also from naturally occurring elements.

Black Mulch But, since black attracts and retains sunlight and heat, this mulch cannot be used in areas with delicate plants. In cooler regions of the country, black mulch works well, but hot climates don't pair as well with black mulch, as it can affect plant growth.

“Mulches come in different colors. The color does not matter to the plants, and is only for aesthetic purposes. There is no evidence that dyes used in colored mulches are toxic.

Over time, mulch colors fade due to frequent exposure to sunlight. Regular non-dyed mulch may become a grayish color in one to two months, while dyed brown or black mulches may keep their color for a year or longer.

The black "dots" of artillery fungus can occur on decaying wood mulch whether it's dyed black or not.

Premium Hardwood Mulch Premium dyed mulch contains hardwood like the standard, except there's the addition of bark. Hardwood bark mulch is the most popular organic mulch on the market. Just like the standard, it has toxin-free, water/vegetable-based dye.

Unlike inorganic mulch, or even low-quality organic mulch, premium mulch decomposes slowly throughout the growing season. As premium mulch decomposes, it actually introduces additional nutrients into the soil, which your lawn and plants can then absorb and utilize for better growth.
