This is a great idea. I’ve never even heard of mulch glue. Might give this a shot.
I’ve been impressed with it. 👍
It looks like PVC glue ...the same stuff woodworkers use to build furniture Works the same way I've been looking for something that does this kind of loose material hold dowm
We make our own from pine sap...no added chems.
The drawback? It lowers the soil pH to slightly more acidic
Military referrs to it as rhino snot. Use it around heli pads on unimproved airfields. Works to hold rocks as long as you don't drive on it, it holds the rocks well.
😂 Rhino snot, nice name. 🤣 Cool stuff.
Thank you so much for the video. I have a love hate relationship with my front walk. Slate with peagravel. This is just what I need!
Thanks! Glad you like it. This would be great to keep that pea gravel off the slate. 👍
I had never heard of much glue. Thanks for the idea!
☀️You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and please share. 👍😀
Nice results sunny. I have some I can't wait to try in my landscape. Great video!
Thanks! Stuff works great, too!!
Our Bermuda has been a little confused to this year, but is actually greening up. This was a great review and demonstration, I did not know about this product and am planning on doing something like that this year. 👍👍
☀️It’s slowly greening up. Yes, the glue works great!👍 Thank you!
Wow. That looks like it works great.
☀️Yes, I was really impressed with it. Will use again.
Great demonstration of how this product works. Great idea for the landscape which I’m planning to do.
Thank you! Product worked great. Check out my 1 year follow up video.
Thanks for the video, I'm gonna try this on a few areas!
Product works great! 👍. Thanks for watching 😎
I had no idea this stuff exists- I got mulch and gravel going everywhere. Thanks man great video
Thank you! It’s pretty cool stuff! 👍
Me either. I had no idea that this was a thing. I've been haunted by flying rocks for years. Thanks for the education. The more you know!
That's pva glue by the looks of it
Thanks for this demo! I've never heard of that mulch glue. it seems like a good product!
Yes, I've been really happy with it.
Thats perfect. I was just looking for this !! I tried concrete blocks and failed miserably lol.. I opted for this route. Thank you very much!
Sounds great!! Thank you for watching! 👍
I really love this idea!! Thank you 😊
Thank you!! 😎
Great Video Sunny ‼️
Thank you, BYD!
Excellent video! I’m going to get some for sure!
☀️Thank you! 👍
This is wonderful. I have pea gravel in my raised bed garden, and I was looking for a way to stop the gravel from moving around.
Awesome! Yes, this will definitely keep it from moving. Plus it's non-toxic and eco-friendly.
Excellent video!! Doing this exact project now!!!
Awesome!! 😎
Excellent details. 😊
Thanks! 👍
I don't know how this video came into my feed, but the YT algoryhytm worked! I look forward to more content!
Awesome! Thank you! ☀️😎
Blowing leaves in the fall will be the tester. I will try this out. Thanks for the review
Same here. I love this idea.
I was talking about this with my husband yesterday and today this video popped up. I think my tablet was listening to my conversation
@@cherylberkey9056 yeah I noticed that as well. I need to check my settings
Great video Sunny 🌞 😎👍🏾
Thank you!! ☀️😎
Interesting video and product. I did a walking path a number of years ago with pea gravel and laid it on a base of dry portland cement and then sprayed it with water which did a fairly good job but I was planning another pea gravel walk this year and I think I will look for this product to try out instead which is a lot easier on the back than lugging backs of cement.
Thanks for the tip.
Wow, good idea about the cement as a sub-base. That's a bit more permanent than the mulch glue as you may have to re-apply yearly. Label said it will last 1 year so I'll try to do a follow up video/short this fall or next spring to see how it's holding. Thanks for watching!
I used Cotswold Bluff, I guess it's limestone based, because it set like concrete after a couple of years in the rain. Great for driveways not plants LOL
U 7y7😊⁷7😊⁷77
You sold me, thank you.
Great stuff! 👍
Excellent for beds on steep hills and water ways. Thank you for the tips!
Yes! 😎 It works great. 👍
Brilliant!!!
😎👍
thats so cool. I'm gonna try that!
Thanks! 👍
That is awesome
😎👍
Looks nice
Thank you! 😎
Very interesting idea .....I’m looking to start a 30 foot pathway and was deliberating some ideas such as ‘expensive’ Indian stone slabs, cheaper moulded concrete paving or tampered down granite dust .....I’m going to research this technique as an alternative 👏
Excellent! 👍 Sounds like you've got an exciting project ahead.
The transformation of your garden beds was truly remarkable, and the mulch glue is definitely a game-changer! The before and after shots showed a clear difference! Great video & tips! #BUILTROCKSOLID
☀️Thank you!! 😎 This is an excellent product!
I can't wait to get a bag of pebbles and do this.
It's really cool! Thanks for watching! 👍
I've never been a fan of pea gravel mainly because it's hard to keep in place. This looks like an outstanding way to fix that and may be cheaper than other options (concrete slabs, pavers, etc.)
Yes, it’s a great solution! 👍😎
Thanks ❤
👍
Wow cool
Thank you!! 👍
When mulch glue first came out it was end of Season and 80% off. Instead of mulch i used it to keep pea gravel in place between the flag stone Instead of the expensive sand. Has held together for 2yrs. Beginning of spring after harsh winters, clean out with light compressed air and reapply.
Awesome!! Glad it’s working great! 👍
Is glue premixed
@williamgeorge4323 No, it mixes with water.
What's the point of "mulch Glue"??? This addresses function...
Did glue getting on the flagstone cause any problems? I’m about to do the same thing and trying to figure out if I should cover the flagstone
Cool!
😎
I don't know how this video was brought to me (mulch gods watching) but i had new mulch put down around my house (4 days ago) and I've never heard of mulch glue. I NEED this, i just watched a friggn cat on my security camera walk out of the woods across the road come over and dug up my mulch and took a crap.
This should definitely help. I tried to pull off some stones that got stuck to my green termite covers and it was about impossible. The cat may not like it. 😎
A.I. it reads your mind, initially I was really creeped out when I would think of things and it would show up in my recommended 😢, now I use it to my advantage. Just keep those thoughts pure.
@@scoutdixie4412 you're right... I better try not to have to many dirty thoughts then right. 😅
Please do a couple updates on this project. Would like to know how the longevity is.
Yes, I sure will. 👍
Wow, I did not know about the glue product. Will go pick up the product today. Have several areas I need to treat.
Awesome! It worked amazingly well. 👍
I'm in!
👍😎
Nice
Thanks! 👍😎
I love this idea. Quick question: will the glue keep the gras and weeds from growing from underneath the pea gravel? Thanks
No, unfortunately, not. It bonds the rocks, but doesn't create an impermeable layer to prevent weeds from growing up. In contrast, it does allow water to pass through.
never knew they had that stuff i have pea gravel on either side of path to my front door and fight a never-ending battle to keep it in place.
Give it shot! Works great! 👍
Nice job, enjoyed watching, how is the stone holding up? Have you noticed and cracks or separation from heat cold and rain?
So far it's held up great. We haven't gotten into the hot months yet. We have had a lot of rain and it is holding perfectly. Supposed to last about a year so we will see how it is this Fall. I may do a follow up video or short.
@@SunnyBermuda Thanks it looks great
I believe it's a tamper not a stamper that you used to compress/compact the loose gravel.
Correct, I get tongue tied speaking on camera.
Great work and content, as usual. How well does it handle drainage and permeability (pea gravel, mulch and other)?
Drainage isn’t an issue at all, we had 10” this past weekend and it was perfectly fine. Supposed to last about a year so time will tell.
Great find. Thanks, but what if you want to plant some plant?
With a little effort, it will break apart. It’s tough, but I believe it can be done.
luv this, going to do this right away, gr8 video had no idea this product existed. btw where are u located? all these videos talk about peemergents but that is location dependant, have poa bad this year in my 1/2" 419 dallas area, even after putting down pre last fall mid Sept - thanks
I'm in central Alabama so our climates should be about the same. What PreEmergent did you use?
@@SunnyBermuda Lesco I believe, 10Ksf bag, used 3/4, I have 8K sf turf, watered it in afterwards, I do this every Fall and still have tons of poa
I have a question, if you ever had to move the pea gravel, or anything like that, do you think it would be hard to break into so to speak? And also, we have stepping stones we did with pea gravel, as a walkway, would you suggest just spray on the pea gravel and not the stepping stones? Just wondering if it would help everything kinda stay in place? (Just for reference, our walkway has plastic edging around currently to secure pea gravel, and large stepping stones in the middle, pea gravel is in the between and and sides). Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
Yes, I believe you would e able to break apart the pebbles. The label says it lasts about a year so you could time the move according to that. Yes, I would at least spray the edges of the stone where the pebbles touch it and where the pebbles touch the borders. Hope this helps! 👍😎
Hi Thank you for the demo! I was wondering if it inhibited weeds as well, as I have to weed my pea gravel constantly for it to look nice.
I'm not real sure if it inhibited weeds or not as I used a "30 year" fabric under my rocks and still got a few of those surface level weeds. I posted a 1 year follow up video that shows my weeds. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful yard! Great idea…. How much weight can it handle?
I’d say it can handle walking on but don’t think it’s meant for vehicles.
*EVEN BETTER....*
Remove 1" of gravel, and then make a slurry mix of portland. Pour slurry on top of lower gravel, and then replace top gravel...and then tamp flat. Cheaper, and lasts much longer.
That definitely is an option.
Really wondering if it would be good to use for a pea gravel patio.
Not real sure how it would hold up to a patio. I think if you saturated it then it would be ok.
Great video! I didn’t know about mulch glue. I was trying to figure out if I could use clear silicone with lava rocks..lol then I found your video. I live in Texas and the summers are 102 degrees. How well will this do in extreme heat? Thx u! Annejala
Yes, it has held up great here in the brutal Alabama heat & humidity.
Why did I not know about this product prior to accidently finding this video today?
Thanks! It’s a pretty cool product! 👍 Shooting a 6 month video this weekend.
I’ve didn’t know this product even existed!
I’m sold!
I’m assuming it would also work on Class 5 gravel. It’s very abundant here in MN/WI on our driveways. But it’s nice in landscaping too.
It'd be worth a try! It holds the pea gravel perfectly. Thanks for watching! 👍
👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
😎👍
Wondering if it works for a driveway
I'm checking with the manufacturer and will let you know.
I wonder if you could put a clear coat sealer as well?
Not sure about that, but most clear coat sealers aren't non-toxic like this stuff, I don't believe.
Did this seem to restrict water from flowing through the gravel? I was thinking about trying it on gravel over a French drain.
No restrictions, it is water permeable..
How does this handle foot traffic? Not that you should be walking on it, but I'm curious if it would simply break into huge chunks/sheets if my kids or dog ran across it.
I’ve walked on it several times and it seems fine as I did compact it pretty tight before applying. A kid or dog running across it should be fine.
I have a long strip of section just next to my concrete that I have filled with chips in the past and even pea gravel (without any glue) and it never lasts. Its part decoration, but also functional as the passenger side wheels of the cars drive over it because of how the driveway is built. Can this withstand being driven on? How will this last over the winter months in a cold climate?
I think it should do ok next to driveway but do not believe it’s intended for vehicle driving.
You used it to keep your pea gravel in place. Can it be used on the bigger river rocks.
Probably so if you spray enough to make contact between the rocks. I try not to step on those, I’d probably twist an ankle. 😎
Thanks. Can Iuse this for larger gravel?
Yes, I did overspray some of the larger stones that are 2-3” and it held them together, but if you step on them they will separate easier.
I wonder how this would work on a driveway? I have a large parking pad that I want to put gravel on it and this glue to hold it together.
It’s not intended for driving on as it just holds the top layer of stone and not all the way through. Could always try it; it would hold the perimeter stones in place pretty good.
Wonder if you could use concrete adhesive glue like Silka just wondering because its only 17-19$ for a gal. Mmmm have a half gal left over in the garage
Not sure, could always try.
Hi Sunny, I just finished filling in an old 8' round Koi pond. I topped off the fill with 3 to 4" of 3/8" pea gravel that has a good bit of fines in it. Tamped it down. Looks great. But the gravel moves pretty good under foot traffic, and I can imagine a chair leg just digging into it. This area is going to be a fire pit with a Solo Stove in the middle with some chairs around it. Do you think this product would work well in my scenario?
I believe it would. You could even layer it. Like scrape back an 1” of stone, spray, move stones back and spray again. Let me know if you try it and how it works.
Solecol
@@MagLeesFinds Great product, but budget was small! Thanks.
I already have a gravel walkway but it needs refreshing. Can I just add more gravel on top and this gravel glue after that? Or do I have to remove what was there and start anew?
I would refresh it and then apply the glue.
Is this water permeable ? I can see just doing a few inches from the edge to keep gravel from shifting into the grass.
Yes, it is water permeable. In fact, the week after shooting this video we got 3-4” of rain and it worked like a champ. 👍
How deep is the pea gravel you sprayed? I’m about to do a fire pit patio like this with mulch glue. I was planning 3 inches. Would that be too deep for the glue to work?
☀️Hi! My pea gravel is roughly 2”. You could probably layer it. Do like 1.5” and spray then spread another 1.5” and spray to top really good. I would like to mention it is a little sticky if you’re going to be barefoot on it even after it dries.
First I’ve ever heard about this product, do you think it would work on my driveway at our cottage. Do you think it is strong enough to stop my pebbles from blowing away or am I xpecting to much.🇨🇦
Definitely keep the wind from blowing them away, but not really sure about driving on it.
Will this work on larger stones like 3/4 inch? I have some 3/4 VA Brown Stone.
I think it will. My stones were a bit larger than true pea gravel so I believe it will hold great.
Ohhh would this work on my pea gravel walkway?
I think it would be fine for light traffic.
Can you use this on pea gravel around a fire pit ? Ty
Yes, if I had a firepit with pea gravel around then I'd definitely use it to keep the gravel from shifting and getting in the yard.
what are the green things on either side of the air conditioner unit?
Those are termite stations.
Does grass grow up between the gravel after the spray is on?
I put down a commercial weed fabric before putting down rocks and haven’t had any grow up yet. I’m sure as time progresses and dirt accumulates or leaves decompose before I get a chance to remove then there could be weeds growing. The product doesn’t claim to prevent grass or weed from growing through. Good question!
So wondering how long before you have to add another coating if you have heavy rains periodically.
We’ve had occasional rains here of 4-5” since applying and it’s still holding strong. Been 6 months. Bottle says to apply yearly.
@@SunnyBermuda Sweet! I have to try that out on some stones I have to that like to jump out into the grass. I have same stuff for mulch but have yet to apply it.
Does water drain thru it or does it get solid like concrete and water runs off it.
Water will drain thru it.
how long does it last Friend of mine told me it brakes down after few yrs and you must redo it
Yes, the bottle said 12 months. It’s been six months so far and it’s holding up great. 👍
Nice video. What are the layers under the pea gravel and depth of materials?
Alabama red clay, commercial fabric, pea gravel. Not to code but in Alabama the red clay is like concrete. 😂
If it is water soluble, won't rain dissolve it?
☀️Water will not be dissolving it after it has been completely dried off after application. It lasts up to 12months. Once dried it is water permeable 👍
What was the name of that black tool you used ??
That’s a tamper. Available at Lowe’s or Home Depot. Great for packing rocks and dirt.
would recommend using much glue in area where its a below a fruit tree?. i have an area of about 5ft diameter with an orange tree in the middle, currently it has just gravel rocks to prevent weeds.
It's labeled as 'Non-Toxic' and also 'Kid and Pet Friendly'. I am not sure whether it would be absorbed by your fruit tree and produce a negative fruit. You could reach out to the manufacturer, PetraTools. I believe they have a team that could handle this question. Their SDS (safety data sheet) is also available on their web site.
Would NOT use it under any food producing plants or trees ❤
Could you please send me information where can I buy that product. Thank you
amzn.to/3LEwWLn
Gotta love it when someone claims something works well before it's put through the test of time.
Great stuff! Can’t wait to see how it performs. 👍
@@SunnyBermuda I hope you don’t pay to much for it it’s just polyuria a form of urethane like wood floor clear coat
@@Justthemow Got it really cheap 👍
Does this damage surrounding plant material, flowers or grass ??
I saw no harm to my turf.
If you get the clue on the patio is it hard to get off? Can you see the over spray on the patio?
I’m really not sure about the patio removal of the glue. If you do get it on I then it will leave a sheen on it that may be sticky under bare feet.
@@SunnyBermuda ok, well I have stepping stones with 2" gap all about my patio may be a lot of work? 🤷♂️
@@jeffnewell2662 Shouldn’t be too hard if you put a small cone tip on sprayer and spray close to pebbles. You can also do edge of stepping stones to glue the stepping stones to the pebbles. 👍
Can you use this on a gravel driveway?
No, I don’t believe it’s intended for driving on. That’s my guess. May have to contact mfg and ask.
That's a huge distance from the pool pump to the pool. I'm sure you didn't want to hear the pump while in the pool area.
☀️Absolutely! I don’t hear it at all. 😎Thanks for watching! 👍
How well does it hold up in high traffic areas?
Not real sure as I’ve only used it in my low traveled landscaping areas.
Have you figured out their dilution factor yet? I’ve been experimenting with generic white glue and can’t seem to get it correct. 1:2 won’t spray well. It also isn’t as white when it sprays as theirs is. I’m going to try 1:3 next. My bed is pretty thick so I might need many coats. Also, how long does it take to dry well before it gets hard? 24 hours? I like the concept but 27$ for 32 oz is too high. Get what you pay for I realize but if it’s white glue and water I can make a bunch real cheap. Do you think they are adding something we don’t know about. No ingredients listed on the bottle. 32 oz doesn’t go far. Thoughts?
Not sure, but a 1:2 is what I see others use. I’ve seen some apply with a watering can if it’s too thick for a sprayer.
@@SunnyBermuda I’m not sure if I can get enough pressure to push one to two with that sprayer. I have learned how to mix it now correctly to get it nice and smooth before I put it in the sprayer. I’m going to try again this weekend. Some areas have done very well and some are doing very poorly. I will let you know. I am using generic Amazon white glue and water. I have seen some advertisements for gravel resin, but it is very expensive. The product that you showcase has seem to work the best thus far. I need to get several days of hot sun on it to make sure that it dries correctly before rain hits it.
I’m pretty sure it’s close to 1:3. I’m using generic Amazon white glue and hot water. I’m getting it down pretty well now and the cheap sprayer easily pushes it out. It looked much better going down tonight. I’ll see how this application holds. The first two held well against my high speed backpack blower at a distance to get the pollen off. I’m mixing it in gal jugs with hot water gradually and mixing 2 gal at a time. Seems to be working well. I need to be able to walk on it and it needs to hold up against heavy rain runoff here in NC. I’ll let y’all know. Thanks!!
Any idea how it would hold up in winter?
Not sure, but look forward to seeing how it performs. So far it's been great, but that's a good question especially with water freezing, etc.
@@SunnyBermuda
Thanks.
Does this hold on a sloped walkway. Normally my gravel washes away in a heavy rain
Yes, my rocks are slightly sloped and really sloped by the AC unit and they have held.
Thanks
How long is this supposed to last?
Bottle says up to 1 year. Hope it does.
Does anybody know if water seeps through the rocks after applying this glue?
Yes, it is water permeable and flows right through. 👍
What is the drainage like?
Product is permeable so water flows right through. It appears to only bond connection points of the rocks instead of filling it to make a solid impermeable surface like an epoxy would do.
How did it hold up
Really good! I posted a 1 year follow up video recently.
Does the glue interfere with drainage?
Not at all. It's permeable and allows water to flow right through it.
cool! Thanks for getting back to me! @@SunnyBermuda
Does water drain through?
Yes, it is water permeable. I'll show in a follow up video soon.
do you know if it's slippery when wet?
No, it is not slippery when wet. It's a little tacky when dry, though.
@@SunnyBermuda thank you!
That thing turned it into rice crispy of pea gravel
😎👍
