Mulch made from recycled rubber sounds eco-friendly, but it's not a good option for your garden. While this variety of mulch does make use of a waste product that's notoriously difficult to recycle -- tires -- the reality is that rubber does not biodegrade, and recycled rubber mulch slowly leaches chemicals into your soil. It's also highly flammable, making it unsafe for your home. Opt for greener and more natural options instead.
