Recycled tires save water

New landscape mulch will decrease evaporation and keep soil healthy.

BALLICO, Calif. — Rubber Bark by Ag Link is landscape mulch made from millions of California’s recycled tires, which has become a mulch to use in order to decrease evaporation and keep soil healthy year-round.

“Rubber Bark is an environmentally friendly product. It takes a waste product (old tires) and turns them into a water saving opportunity while providing real positive characteristics and aesthetics to a landscape or playground of any size,” said Rob Nairn, chief financial officer of Rubber Bark.

Rubber Bark does not deteriorate like organic mulches, and stays in place during inclement weather and flooding.
