Benefits of Mulch

Apart from making your garden look amazing, there are many benefits to using mulch throughout your entire garden.

Mulch adds organic matter which improves soil quality and helps to make make your garden healthier and more resistant to pests and disease.  It helps to keep the soil cooler by shielding it from the sun, prevents evaporation and reduces water run-off when watering.  Mulch also provides a natural barrier to help prevent weed germination and competing with plants for nutrients.

Quality Counts

We are a leading mulch supplier in Melbourne for premium quality mulch sourced from the most reputable and respected mulch producers in Victoria.

Not all mulches are the same and not all garden mulch suppliers are the same. You may find a less expensive option at other yards with similar generic names however there is little doubt that paying less means getting less in terms of quality.

Applying Mulch

The recommended depth for applying mulch is around 50mm (5cm).  This will help suppress weed grow, keep the soil cooler and improve water retention.

It’s important to prepare your soil and garden beds prior to applying the mulch by removing weeds, debris, sticks and excess leaf litter.  Add a soil wetting agent and water the beds well.

Shovel mulch from your wheelbarrow into small piles and use your hands to loosely spread to a depth of around 50mm keeping the mulch clear of the base of plants and tree trucks.  If mulching vegetable gardens wait until most of your plants have started growing to prevent smothering seedlings.
