In nature, the ground is never left bare – it’s always covered with leaves, bark, or other organic matter that protects and nourishes the soil. Mulch helps us recreate this natural layer of protection in our gardens and is a great idea to do at home for many reasons.
 
Mulch conserves soil moisture, suppresses weeds, regulates soil temperature (both in winter and summer), protects crucial macro- and microorganisms from the elements, and gradually improves soil health as it breaks down. It is an essential part of maintaining a thriving, low-maintenance garden and vegetable patch.
 
Mulch is commonly used for:
 
Flower beds and shrub borders
Vegetable gardens
Around trees and fruiting plants
Pathways and garden landscapes
 
Unlike compost, mulch is not fully decomposed yet. It will breakdown in your garden over time, protecting and nourishing the soil. Our mulch is made from chipped and shaved tree bark and other organic material, providing a natural ground cover that enhances both the health and beauty of your garden. It improves soil fertility over time while helping your plants thrive with less stress from weeds and water loss. Mulch also prevents your vegetables leaves from being in direct contact with the soil, which may aid in keeping your plants healthier.
 
This versatile mulch is suitable for a wide range of garden applications, whether you’re looking to protect this year’s prized vegetable gardens, create a neat and polished look around your flower beds, or simply reduce maintenance in your outdoor spaces.

Application
 
One bag of mulch will cover a 1 m² area with a 5cm thick layer.
Clear the area of weeds and grass before applying.
Spread mulch evenly over the soil surface to a depth of 5–8 cm, this can be done by hand or using a rake.
If mulching around plants, make sure all leaves of the plant are above the layer of mulch.
Top up regularly to maintain an effective, thick layer.
