RECOMMENDATIONS when using mulch:

  • leave 100mm away from base of plant as not to “suffocate” plant and cause stem rot.
  • a thicker layer of mulch will last longer, retain moisture longer and suppress weeds better.
  • a light water after laying will help settle mulch.
  • to “freshen” look of mulch and also help with moisture penetration lightly turn top layer every few months.
  • well composted mulches that contain manure reduce nitrogen draw down.
