Mulch is an essential addition for garden beds and pots plants, as it helps to retain moisture in the soil while also breaking down over time and adding vital organic material to improve your soil structure and overall plant health.
 
This "Fines" mulch contains small pieces of bark between 1-12mm, which means it will breakdown much quicker than a chunky mulch, speeding up the process in which organic material is added to your soil structure.

Applications
Garden Beds 
Initially, apply a minimum 5-7.5cm layer of mulch over the top of your soil in Spring or Autumn. Approx. 2 bags per 1 sqm.
Ideally, if the garden depth allows, add up to 10cm of mulch. Approx. 3 bags per sqm.
Mulch should be topped up every 6 months with a 3cm layer after initial application.
Be careful not to place mulch too close around the base of the plant stems and trunks, as this can cause rot. 
 
Pots
Apply a 5cm layer of mulch on the top of potting mixes after planting. 
Leave at least 1cm at the top of the pot to allow for water absorption.
Top up mulch with a thin layer as required, approx every 6 months.
