Forest Mulch
$39.00 per cu m
Forest Mulch is an organic, biodegradable ground covering material, produced from the by-products of forestry activities, including the shredding of bark and wood chips. This mulch variety is celebrated for its capability to effectively suppress weed growth, minimize water evaporation from the soil surface, and regulate soil temperature, thus fostering a more resilient and nutrient-rich soil environment. As it gradually breaks down, Forest Mulch integrates organic material into the soil, enhancing its structure and fertility. It presents an aesthetically pleasing, natural appearance, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of landscaping projects, from public parks to residential gardens. The use of Forest Mulch supports sustainable gardening practices by recycling forestry waste products, contributing to a circular economy.
