Mulch & Rock Bond - Binder for Mulch, Rock, Bark, & Pea Gravel, Safe for Plants & Pets, Ready to Use, Adhesive Spray, Strong Stabilizing Glue, Fast Drying (5 Gallon, 1)

Work excellent, keep everything in place

The media could not be loaded. I bought this to stop the rain from washing my mulch onto the sidewalk. And it works! Mulch stays in place. I’ve even used my leaf blower to remove leaves and grass without a problem. It goes on white but dries clear. It is a bit shiny but I probably applied too much.

Update 2 months after application: didn’t hold. Just didn’t. None of it. We used 4 gallons of it and it didn’t hold with the dogs & regular walking. This product would be great for an area that is hardly trafficked & just wanting a clean look all the time. If the area is trafficked at all, and the gravel is more than one layer deep (as it is recommended to be) then it doesn’t hold. This product would be great in a garden for mulch that isn’t walked on as well. Won’t buy again for the same purpose, but if needed for little projects like mulch, maybe.We have a lot of pea gravel we have used in our back patio area. With 2 large dogs, we needed something to keep it off the flagstone pavers. We bought a yard spray bottle for application. This product works great for the most part and in a basic way. It will not adhere all of the rocks together, it will adhere the ones directly hit by the stream of glue. If those are on top of other rocks and get moved, then that clump moves as a whole which can make the situation worse almost. It clogged the sprayer numerous times. We had to use 2 5-gallon buckets for our little backyard and need more still. It is permeable which is nice for water & does a great job at keeping the rocks in tact between the pavers. It does a great basic job, but for the price and the amount needed to complete the project, along with needing reapplication, I’m unsure that it is worth it. For small spaces, it would be great for a quick fix. However, if your gravel is 2” deep, that is 2” deep of gravel that needs coated in order to fully do as advertised which is near impossible.

Great item

This product does not work. I think that the concept of just shake and ready to use is flawed. They pre-mix it with water and send it to the customer. The fact is that the product is unstable in water. It precipitates during shipping. I ordered 10 five-gallon buckets on April 10. They arrived on April 11, and I tried to use them on April 12. So, there was no lag time. The first five buckets that I opened had already precipitated. They were supposed to arrive in milk-like consistency so one can put them in a sprayer bottle and apply to the mulch / rocks. And instead, they arrived in cheese-like consistency, impossible to apply or bond. See attached photo. I thought that I was mixing incorrectly, so I tried a number of techniques. I am a chemical engineer and know various mixing techniques. Same result every time.Please don't waste your money, time and effort in this product. It is the worst product out there.

I purchased this item and I am glad that I did! The product was easy to use. You simply pour into a sprayer and spray the product on. It is doing a great job on keeping my mulch in place! I love that it is invisible! You can’t even tell that it’s there! Great value!

This product works as far as the glue goes. But it will not work with any sprayer that I can find very hard to applyProduct is thick and has small chunks in it will clog your sprayer. I tried fitting at fifty-fifty with water and stirred and shook it, but it didn't seem to matter. It just clogged the sprayer within about 30 seconds. And I had to just pour it out. Took a long time to dry and wasted a lot of product but it does glue boo the rocks. On my patio fire viewer hard to apply

I was skeptical at purchasing this product solely on the mixed reviews. But I decided to give it a try since doing nothing would have the same results as previous years. Piles of mulch washed into my grass and across my driveway after a heavy downpour.I spread three cubic yards of triple ground brown mulch around all my trees and flower beds. I love this mulch. It spreads easily and covers nicely, but because of its rather small and fine texture, a heavy down pour will remove the mulch from any area where the water collects and runs off. The best way to describe these run off areas are flower beds that are raised and contour down to the lawn. Right at that point is where the rain water collects and washes away the mulch. On most of the flat mulched areas it stays in place. But at those "V" type areas, water runs like a small creek and everything ends up in a pile at the lowest point. I spend four hours raking and sweeping up mulch and redistributing it back over the bare dirt. This is every time after every down pour, all summer long.A little research online brought me to this product. I live in southeastern PA and we just went through about six to eight weeks of no measurable rain so everything was extremely dry. I shook the bottle per directions and dumped one third into my two gallon portable pump sprayer. I did the same with the other two thirds. Pumped up the sprayer and opened up the nozzle to allow for the thicker material to be applied. It reminds me of watered down Elmers Glue. (probably is) I applied it to the areas most prone to be washed off, about twelve inches wide. With everything being so dry, the mulch sucked it in immediately. The coverage looked about the same as pictured on the bottle. I may have went a bit heavier in the more severe problem areas, but I tried to stay consistent to optimize coverage. I noticed it leaves a slight sheen on the mulch when it dries. Probably not that noticeable to anyone who didn't see it being applied.Three days later we had a line of storms roll through that dumped two and a half inches of rain. This would be the test. When I walked the yard, I was pleasantly surprised to find that something like ninety five percent of what I had sprayed stayed in place.Overall I'm pleased with the product. Just make sure you shake/ mix the product well before use and I think the biggie is to make sure the mulch is as dry as possible before application. The directions state that Loc Mulch should dry for twenty four to forty eight hours for best results. I agree. the longer the better.
