Abstract: An apparatus and method for treating mulch include a mobile facility that applies a treatment to wood fibers at an increased efficiency than conventional coloring or coating methods. The method includes the steps of introducing the wood fibers into a revolving tub, and transporting the wood fibers to a tub manifold. The tub manifold includes at least one inlet port to receive a tub treatment and at least one discharge port to apply the tub treatment to the wood fibers. The wood fibers are treated with the tub treatment using the tub manifold. The apparatus includes a revolving tub and a tub manifold, which is preferably installed in the revolving tub in a first treatment area.
