Bark and mulches

Bark mulch and compost are organic materials that can improve soil health and fertility, but they serve different purposes in gardening and landscaping.

The purpose of mulch is to retain moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature, whereas compost is used to provide nutrients to soil to improve soil health and fertility.

FAQs

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.

What bark is best for a play area?

A play area or garden can benefit from our Play Area Woodfibre, which offers more protection from falls and creates a soft surface for children to play on. There is a mixture of soft and hardwood tree species in our bark and bark sizes range from 8 mm to 20 mm.
