Mulch is an essential addition for garden beds and potplants, as it helps retain moisture in the soil while breaking down over time and adding vital organic material to improve soil structure and overall plant health. This organic mulch contains slow release fertiliser for simple, convenient application.
 
Features & Benefits
Organic ingredients only.
Improves water retention and reduces water evaporation over the warm months.
Suppresses weed growth.
Fine mulch feeds beneficial microbes in the soil, improving soil structure and drainage. 
Encourages earthworm activity – nature’s army for improving 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 top of the potting mix.
Be sure not to fill right to the top of the pot, allowing water to absorb properly and not spill over the edges.
Top up mulch with a thin layer as required every 6 months.
 
Notes
Will feed plants with low nutrient requirements for up to 6 months. Grasses, succulents, natives, established trees.
For hungry plants such as annuals, veggies, fruit trees, fast-growing shrubs used for hedging, flowering plants and young trees – additional fertiliser applications are recommended every 8 weeks between August and April.
