When to Use Amenity Bark Mulch

You should apply your Amenity Mulch for the best results during springtime and autumn. Springtime usually means that weeds and other herbaceous plants have not yet germinated, and Autumn is appropriate because most plants have started to wither away.

Our Mulch is safe and appropriate to use on new plants or even established plants that you may already have. In both cases, using mulch will be beneficial because they are can help keep both weeds and moisture away.

Benefits of Using Amenity Bark Mulch in Your Garden

Extends plant life

Our Woodland Mulch is excellent for elongating your plant’s life significantly because of all the nutrients they are able to provide. What is amazing about mulch is that over time, as they decompose, they continue to provide nutrients to your plants that will keep them healthy for months to come.

Reduces water usage

If you are looking to reduce water usage and save some money, our Woodland Mulch is the ideal garden product. Organic mulches have the ability to retain moisture for a very long time, which in turn means that you have to spend less time and water ensuring your plants are hydrated. This means you can save some much-needed money on your water bill and a lot of time and effort maintaining your plants.

Reduces flooding

As mentioned previously, Woodland Mulch is great for water retention, so not only does it help with keeping your plants hydrated, but they are also very useful if your locality is prone to flooding. Mulches are able to soak in a lot of water, and therefore it is a useful material to hinder flood damage even just a little bit.

Helps prevent weeds

Nothing is more annoying than a lovely garden filled with weeds. One of the best qualities of Mulches is that they are a great, natural way to prevent weed growth. All you need to do is to make sure that you thoroughly de-weed the area you are going to put the mulch in and then you will notice that no weeds will sprout out from those areas. Mulches are a great, natural alternative to using chemical weed repellents in your garden.

For added protection, you may want to consider purchasing weed fabric. We supply Weedcheck Weed Control Membrane, Weedcheck Ultra Heavy Duty Weed Control Membrane and many more. Click here to browse through our entire weed membrane collection.
