I haven't used it b/c cocoa mulch is poisonous to dogs. Just FYI in case you have one!

I use it in my perennials beds, but due to it being so expensive, I don't use it in the vegetable beds. I save it for my more visible flower beds in front. I use shredded leaves and grass clippings in the veggie beds.

I don't see why you couldn't use it in vegetable beds. I don't think there are any alleopathic characteristics you need to worry about, but perhaps someone else can chime in on that aspect.

Use it.
