We have just added the Planter's Paper recycled paper mulch to our catalog. It works just like the black poly EXCEPT that it starts to break down at the soil line (the edge where it is buried) after about a month, so for the best results, you want to cover it with an organic mulch after the soil has warmed throoughly. It then breaks down the rest of the way underneath. Nice stuff, and I hope it will get more inexpensive as volume rises…..

Thank you for the information. I'll try it this coming season. Russ C.
