What Customers Are Saying
The product has mixed reviews. Some customers found it effective at controlling weeds and retaining color, but the majority report significant issues. The main problems are that the color fades quickly, often within days or weeks, the weed control is ineffective, and the quality and consistency vary greatly between bags, with some containing undesirable wood chunks, debris, and even mold. Overall, the consensus is that the product does not live up to its claims and represents poor value.
