An attractive economical sustainable mulching alternative. Cover your beds with a thin layer of hulls, ½–1" thick: it will look sparse at first and the hulls may seem light enough to blow away in a good breeze. They will swell up nicely after a rain or two and settle down to a summer of weed and grass suppression. Three months later the bed was still pretty much weed free.
We have a surprise customer base for these hulls from people who use them not to mulch, but for making zafus and other pillows. We happily sell them to gardeners and meditators alike.
The actual weight of each 2 cu ft bag varies, but is roughly 25 pounds; the 35 pounds for the shipping weight reflects the bulkiness of the bag and how much it costs to ship it in a box. The 2000 pounds for the shipping weight of the pallet (44 bags) reflects the bulkiness of the stack and how much it costs to truck them; you will actually receive ~1100 pounds of hulls.
