• Mulching reduces the frequency that you need to water plants by reducing evaporation of water from the soil. It also reduces weed growth.
• For best results mulch should be at least 5cm thick although 10cm is recommended for best results
• Choice of mulches depends on personal choice. All mulches will eventually break down into the soil. Fine mulches such as Golden Pine and Eucalyptus will break down quicker than coarse mulches such as 50mm Pine Bark or Hardwood Chip.
• Do NOT put black plastic over gardens as it reduces water absorption and stops oxygen getting to plant roots. Use a weed mat or layered newspaper instead of plastic.

Martins mulches are available in bulk or in bags
