Ornamental bark mulch
Transform your garden into a haven of beauty and functionality with our Ornamental Bark Mulch. This versatile and eco-friendly solution serves a dual purpose, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your garden while providing numerous benefits for your plants and soil.
Description
Crafted from materials sourced within the British Isles, this biodegradable mulch offers sustainability alongside its impressive qualities. When it comes to functionality, our Decorative Bark Mulch truly shines.
Applying a layer of this mulch to your garden beds and borders creates an efficient moisture retention system, safeguarding your plants during scorching summer months. Acting as a protective shield, it reduces water evaporation and keeps your plants adequately hydrated. Additionally, its natural weed suppressant properties prevent unwanted intruders from infiltrating your garden, minimizing the need for extensive manual weeding.
Usage Guidelines:
- Preparation: Ensure that the bed or border is moist and free from weeds. Avoid applying mulch to frozen soil.
- Application Depth: Spread Decorative Bark Mulch evenly to a depth of 5cm (2in) to 7.5cm (3in) across the desired area.
- Trees and Shrubs: For individual trees and specimen shrubs, extend the mulch to the radius of the canopy, providing optimal coverage and protection.
- Seasonal Timing: Apply the mulch during mid to late spring and autumn when the soil is moist and warm. Avoid applying mulch in winter and early spring when the soil is cold, as well as during summer when the soil tends to be dry.
