What amount of coverage can I expect to get with a bottle of Mulch Brite™?

Can I change my mulch color with Mulch Brite™?

Yes you can. Follow normal direction to go from lighter colored mulch to a darker mulch color (example cedar colored mulch to a black mulch).  However, if you want to go from dark mulch to a lighter mulch color (example black mulch to red mulch), the darker mulch will require multiple colorant applications to make it lighter.
