Mulches

• Mulching is a method of applying materials to cover the soil around desirable plants, insulating them in the winter yet also keeping them moist during the summer.

• It is a popular method of controlling weeds without using chemicals.

• Organic Mulches have the added benefit of improving the structure and fertility of the soil.

• Always bear in mind that the insulating characteristics of mulching can also work against you if adequate preparations haven’t been made. Only apply mulches to warm, moist soil using them on frozen or very dry soil can just seal in the problem. Carefully remove any weeds before applying mulches otherwise they will reap the rewards of the mulching process just as readily as the plants you really intend to help.

• Woodchips are a simple and very attractive way to dress borders and beds, with all the additional benefits of mulching.

• Our woodchips are sufficiently heavy, so they will not blow around.

• They will last a number of years before they need replacing as they take time to break down, the Hardwood Woodchip is particularly long lasting.

• Mulching improves water retention

Our Range Of Mulches

Blended Horse Manure

A combination of well-rotted horse manure and peat. When used as a mulch and soil conditioner it effectively retains moisture particularly in the summer months and keeps weeding to a minimum. It is crucial to regularly replenish the soil through humus-makers such as Manure and Humost because the humus balance declines considerably during cultivation. Humus contains and maintains the masses of microscopic organisms in soil which are the key to fertility.
