I just put down some cocoa bean mulch last week and all moldy underneath the top stuff.....has anyone else's every gotten moldy? Can't be good for the plant...think I should take it out?? Ugh....what a chore that will be....wasn't moldy when I put it down....we had 3" of rain the other day but it's been hot, windy and dry the last 3 days....

I'm thinking the problem will resolve itself as the mulch dries. If it bothers you a lot, you could spritz with a little peroxide water (1 Tbsp std 3% hydrogen peroxide per quart). I've had a little mold on regular hardwood mulch, but it went away pretty quickly and didn't seem to bother the plants at all.
