brand names?

[Atlas]

Hi all,

Ok, I have read that cypress and aspen are the way to go if you choose to use mulch. I have decide to use cypress, but could some of you that are using cypress give me the particular brand name of the stuff you use.

I ask this because I have seen a mulch called Cypress Gold at my local garden centre and was wondering if it is in fact Cypress or something different,

Any and all input is greatly appreciated. BTW, I will be putting it in my BCI enclosures.

THanks,

I use cypress gold as well, it is cypress but dyed, the dye is non-toxic though.

Snakers55, I just got a response from Alltreat (the producer of Cypress Gold). This mulch comes from the scrap wood used in making telephone poles. The wood is PINE. :eek: Although the dye is not toxic, the Pine is, so perhaps you may want to consider using a different mulch.

I haven't used any of the Cypress Gold yet for my snakes so I will just be putting the bag on my flower garden.
