Petra Black Mulch Dye Spray Use with PetraTools Sprayer to Refresh Fading Landscape - Black Dye to Wood Mulch for Landscaping - Rubber, Pine Straw, Bark, Cedar & Playground Cover (3,600 Sq Ft, 32 Oz)

I used 6oz per 1 gallon yesterday for this area around 5pm by 7:30pm it was pouring down rain I expected this stuff to wash off, but it doesn’t look like it even affected it! (The weather forecast said it wasn’t going to rain till 1am so I thought it would have more time to dry in the end it didn’t matter.) Once I run out I will be buying more.

I echo all positive comment reviews!! Wish I had discovered it years ago. Mixed it at full strength b/c I was covering natural-colored mulch. I already had a battery sprayer --- used the "Cone" tip to apply & it allowed me to get good straight lines PLUS great coverage. No more mulch every 2-3 years (250+ bags) for me (only just to refreshen my yard's appearance).

I used this product to get ready for an upcoming gathering. I did not have time to rematch, and all of my mulch looked terribly faded from last year. I sprayed on this product, and it really looks great. It poured rain the day of our gathering, and the color held better than I was expecting.1) It is no way to apply this product without making a mess. You will get this stuff all over you and in some places that you did not intend. Luckily it washed off easily with water and a brush.2). If you are applying paint to a perishable item, you can not expect this to maintain its color for a whole year. However I am one month in, and I am still very pleased with the product.

Cheaper and easier than new multch.

If your mulch hasn't sinked into the soil it's definitely a great option instead of piling up fresh colorful mulch.Small 32oz bottle will cover whole a lot.Last time I mixed the dye with mulch glue and water.Dissolved glue still holds the mulch very well and I expect even longer color life.Don't forget to wet concrete around treated area so you won't be left with stains after you try to rinse overspray out.

Edit: Seller was great to work with. They reached out to me and we worked out the issue.1. Don't get it near your home, a sidewalk, a driveway. If you do, you better have some type of large shield, and even then, it gets on the bottom and runs when you lift it, like it did us with us. 2. This doesn't last. It was black when it went down about 3 weeks ago, and it's now dark black brown. It's already fading. Also, if this dye is near a downspout, forget it. It washes immediately. 3. We used this black dye over brown mulch. That was a mistake. Any step you take in your landscaping, whether it's a pet, a deer, or yourself, you will see the brown dye underneath as you step away. If you have brown mulch, choose brown dye if you insist on this method. 4. Black dye? We've found out that any and everything will show up on black mulch. A dead leaf, a pinecone, blown grass, dead weeds, you name it and it shows up. Stick with nature's natural color. We'll never use black mulch or dye again. 5. Don't, I repeat, don't fluff your mulch.

I can't say enough about this mulch dye. I will never not buy this product to give my mulch a refreshed look making it look new. Get yourself a good battery operated sprayer and the results will be fantastic!! Deep black color and so easy to mix and apply! Where has this product been all my life? Buy it!!

Works pretty good
