Mulch

Bark mulch adds a natural and appealing texture to your garden beds and complements a wide range of landscaping styles, from formal to rustic. Correct use can help create a polished and well-maintained look in your outdoor space. Bark mulch acts as an effective weed barrier by reducing the amount of light that reaches the soil surface. This helps to prevent weed seeds from germinating and competing with your plants for nutrients and water. This, in turn, reduces the need for frequent weeding, saving you time and effort in maintenance. Bark mulch helps retain soil moisture by acting as a protective barrier against evaporation. It slows down water loss from the soil, which is particularly beneficial in areas with hot and dry climates. By maintaining consistent moisture levels, your plants are more likely to thrive and require less frequent watering. During extreme weather conditions, such as hot summers or cold winters, bark mulch acts as a natural insulator for the soil. It helps to regulate soil temperatures, protecting plant roots from temperature fluctuations that could stress or damage them. Check out the Bradfords range online or pop in store to see an expert
