If it worked for people for years, then that's the best kind of feedback you can get !!
The only thing that would bother me a bit is the "cypress BLEND" part. That usually means they blend it with whatever is the most readily available and cost effective wood they can get at the time.
"Pure" cypress is getting harder and harder to find.
As long as the other woods blended in are safe, its no big deal. But how would one know if cedar is ever mixed in ? Or untreated pine ?
Again, if it worked for people for years, its most likely "safe", I just wonder if it can sometimes vary from bag to bag, year to year or manufacture site ?
Owning a horse I know that the wrong wood bedding can have bad consequences, even for an animal who only comes in contact with it with its feet and not 24/7.
Has anyone ever been in contact with the manufacture about what other wood is blended in ? And if its consistently the "same formula" of wood blend ?
edited to add this link I've come across during reading up on "cypress blend" possibly containing pine. Seems that shredded pine can be a bad thing, perhaps no immediate issues, but longterm. Even for humans dealing with it ..
Is there a "pure" cypress mulch that is readily available at hardware stores ? (rather then overpriced at petstores)
