Lesco has a product called NuMulch that you mix with water and spray on with a hand held or backpack sprayer. I had seen stained mulch at a golf course and inquired at Lesco about it. They have a black and a red stain and today I mixed 1/2 oz. of red with 1/4 oz. of black and poured in 3 gal. of water and it yielded a dark red translucent color which looks surprising natural. <br>If you follow the instructions as written, the stain is more like paint and looks like like color enhanced mulch that you can buy in bags. It's not very natural looking. A<br>64oz. bottle of stain is $44 and change and goes a heck of a long way the way I mix it.<p>I don't know what the income potential is yet because this is experimental for me at this point. I am not trying to replace the idea of selling mulch but I would like my mulch jobs to hold up longer on the color.<p>By mixing red with black I got a color that is similar to an expensive grade cypress mulch.<br>Some before and after photos may in order here anyone wants to see this.
