ABSTRACT:
A pourable, granular paper mulch product including a granular solid comprising at least about 85% paper by weight and at least about 6% water by weight, and having a settled density of at least about 15 pounds per cubic foot is prepared by comminuting paper, mixing the comminuting paper with water to form a pulp, extruding the pulp through a die orifice, chopping the extrudate to a length of less than about 1/8 inch to form granules, and drying the granules to achieve a final moisture content of from about 6% to about 13% by weight. The granular paper mulch product exhibits excellent flow characteristics, and can be easily applied to a damaged area of lawn such as by pouring the patch composition directly from a box.
