What Is a Mulch Glue?

Mulch Glue is typically a sprayable or pourable formula that bonds mulch pieces together. While it may go by various names—like mulch adhesive—it all points to the same goal of keeping beds and borders neat for longer. It prevents erosion and scatter, especially helpful in sloped gardens or areas prone to heavy rain. There is less time raking or replacing mulch that has shifted out of place after using a mulch glue, cutting maintenance time down

Our Bed & Border Bond product not only locks in mulch; it also holds pine straw, small rocks, pea gravel, shells and other decorative ground covers in place.

Why Use Mulch Glue?

Mulch glues are extremely weather-resistant and minimize the impact of wind and rain, keeping your beds and borders looking neat even after inclement weather. They lock ground covers in place. Ready to spray mulch glue helps keep pine straw from blowing away and keeps the sprayed groundcover and soil in place for longer, avoiding the hassle of redoing your beds and borders. Bed & Border Bond suits all types of ground coverings from mulch to pine straw. 

How Does It Compare?

Mulch glue is often just another term for mulch glue spray or mulch adhesive. They all act as a binding agent to keep mulch in place. If you want a more in-depth look at this product and all that it achieves, read our recent blog article and learn about Bed & Border Bond as a mulch glue.

Application Tips: 

1. Prep the Area: Remove debris, ensure the area is as dry as possible, rake lightly to level the surface, and rinse gravel or stones lightly to remove dust.
2. Follow Product Directions:  Different brands may have varying mix ratios or dry times. For Terra Lock, one simple coat is all you need for most applications. Just shake the container well, pour the product into a pump sprayer (fan nozzle recommended), and spray in even, overlapping passes. Work in small sections to get the best results.
3. Drying Time: Allow product to dry 4-6 hours (weather dependent) and avoid watering or rain for 24-48 hours. Learn more here.
