Benefits of spring mulching

To protect plants from changing weather – in early spring, temperatures can still change dramatically. A layer of mulch acts as an insulating blanket, shielding plant roots from late frosts and sudden warm spells. Adding spring mulch helps reduce stress on plants as they transition into their active growing phase.

To enrich the soil – as mulch breaks down through spring, it releases valuable nutrients that feed plants just as they begin to grow.

To control weeds – adding mulch in spring helps prevent weed seeds from germinating by blocking sunlight and reducing bare soil exposure. This early-season weed suppression keeps your beds tidy and allows your plants to thrive without competition.

To retain moisture – Spring mulching helps maintain steady soil moisture as temperatures rise and plants begin to draw in more water. Organic mulches limit evaporation and absorb rainfall, releasing it slowly into the soil to keep roots hydrated and healthy.

To boost soil life – Organic mulch fosters an active soil ecosystem. As it decomposes, it encourages microbial activity, supporting strong root systems and overall plant vitality throughout the growing season.

FAQs

Should I use mulch or compost?

This depends on your goal! If you want to improve the growth of your plants, enjoy more blossoms on your flowers, and provide your garden with additional nutrition, then you should use compost.

However, if you want to reduce weed development, manage run-off and keep soil moist, then it’s mulch that you need.

Will bark and mulch stop weeds?

By laying down a layer of bark, you can prevent weed development by creating a barrier that blocks any sunlight. However, to maximise the efficiency of bark mulch, it is essential that any existing weeds be removed before laying down your bark. It’s also critical to use a thick coating of bark, ideally 2-3 inches deep, and to inspect and renew the bark layer on a regular basis.

How much will one bulk bag cover?

At 5cm depth a 1m3 bulk bag (1000 litres) will cover 20 sq/m and a 0.75m3 (750 litres) bulk bag will cover 15 sq/m. Our bulk bag calculator can provide you with the right number of bulk bags to order based on the quantity of compost, topsoil, bark or mulch that you need.
