Red Shovel Glass Co. – Recycled Tumbled Mulch Materials

March 22, 2011

Red Shovel Glass Company, which is part of the Building Resources Center – a nonprofit who recycles and resells building materials in San Francisco, is also upcycling bottles, and building materials into these interesting mulches.  Personally I think these are best reserved for container plantings or floral arrangements, but I have seen them used on the ground level as well.   My favorite is the terracotta….what’s yours?

They ship across the country in 50lb bags (which will cover approximately 6 sq ft with 1 inch of mulch).

    I use red glass as mulch for houseplants, and it unifies them, but it would be a bit much outdoors. Although maybe in a monochromatic scheme, with japanese maples and bloodgrass, and heuchera, against a grey cement wall with black mondo grass. oooh – black plants growing in red glass mulch – somebody will love that.

    Remember those walls made of chicken wire filled with rubble? I wonder if you could make a similar thing with this stuff, only lit from within.

    I prefer the idea of small glass pebbles on wires, like stained glass accents on top of obelisks.
