We are also buying coconut husks at 16 peso a rice sack for mulching BUT it takes a long time and hiring an extra worker for a couple of days to chop the things up to a workable size....so if anybody has any ideas how we could speed the process up I would be greatful.
I have used my mulcher but it just creates a coconut fairy floss which jams the mulcher up frequently.

i've tried various mulches and settled on rice husks. they are relatively inexpensive, clean, light weight and easy to find. i like peanut shells better but my source ran out and i haven't been able to find another source in the duma area.

this might help you: Where to Find: - Does anyone know where rice hulls can be purchased? | Page 2 | Dumaguete Info
