Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating mulch by applying an adhesive composition to bulk mulch and then bagging the treated mulch before the adhesive cures. The bagged mulch is later transported to a desired location and arranged into a mulch bed, and the adhesive cures by exposure to air and sunlight, thereby holding the mulch in place and preventing undesirable movement.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating a mulch bed by applying an adhesive composition using portable apparatus including a disposable translucent container supported by a shoulder strap and connected to a wand distributor. The container is filled with liquid adhesive composition having a consistency similar to milk. A wand distributor is attached to the container port and includes a rigid conduit stem interconnecting the container port and a distribution head. The shoulder strap is positioned on the shoulder of a user to support and transport the container. The user operates a gravity flow valve and grasps the rigid stem to move the distributor head and apply the adhesive composition to an area of a mulch bed to prevent undesirable movement of the mulch material.
