I have a pile of small wood chips from felled trees.
I want to create black mulch.
Can I do it and how?

You can buy mulch dyes in a variety of colors. A simple google search will reveal many sources. I have no idea what's in them, but one said "environmentally safe", whatever that may mean.

1sprayed my mulch with a product like you suggested and it looks great. If it's mulch it's perfect; doesn't work so well on twigs or areas with sparse mulch. Think it is a great idea to refresh every other year to save money.– MarinaioCommented Aug 2, 2020 at 23:29

1If you think about it, stop by again next year and update us on how it holds up over time.– DCookieCommented Aug 4, 2020 at 1:35

I will. You can see the difference. My thinking is to re-mulch every OTHER year and color the next. It doesn't color the dirt so well and the mulch gets kicked around. But if it saves me $8K/yr it's worth it.– MarinaioCommented Aug 4, 2020 at 19:06
