Shredded and screened to 15mm and ideal for professional landscapers and gardening enthusiasts. Ideal for exposed areas and steep banks. Experience has shown that Fine Bark Mulch is less likely to blow away during strong winds. It remains in place particularly well if it has had time to settle (this is helped by light rain or watering after the mulch has been evenly spread). Less likely to suffer from the effects of seed dispersal as the smaller pores on the surface provide reduced germination opportunity. The smaller pores provide a higher level of insulation from severe frost, thus enhancing the protection of delicate perennial plants during the winter months. 3 - 4 Years Lifetime Enviro Grind has been supplying Regular and Fine Grade Bark Mulch to gardeners and landscape contractors for over 20 years with excellent results. Our Bark Mulch product is harvested from local sustainably managed forests generating a reliable quality supply. Natural Bark Mulch which is a rich brown colour provides an attractive well defined finish (or ground cover) to ornamental trees, shrubs and flower beds by providing colour contrast and enhancing floral displays and the rich colours of autumn leaf fall. Benefits of Bark mulch Weed suppression: Bark Mulch reduces the opportunity for weed seed germination by reducing weed seed access to soil. Where weed seeds are successful in germinating, Bark Mulch is excellent for suppressing their development by eliminating photosynthesis, providing a physical barrier to growth. A 4’’ (10cm) layer of bark mulch will provide a lasting weed suppression cover. Moisture retention: Enviro Grind Bark Mulch reduces moisture evaporation from soil, thus reducing the need for additional watering during summer. Bark Mulch acts as a primary absorption layer during heavy downpours of rain reducing the loss of soil nutrients from leaching and soil saturation which affects plant respiration and soil compaction. Bark Mulch decomposition Over time Bark Mulch slowly decomposes providing both essential plant nutrients and improving soil structure to the underlying soil. The rate of decomposition depends on a number of factors including climate, exposure and moisture retention. Bark mulch should last 2 – 4 years and can be topped up each year or as required. Bark Mulch helps avoid strenuous back breaking work Many modern gardeners often prefer to avoid digging and turning soil, thus avoiding back breaking work while preserving soil structure and maintaining the natural habitat for earthworms, invertebrates and the billions of microorganisms that inhabit our soils. Bark Mulch can be gently raked to re-establish the appearance of your garden without the pains and aches of digging.
