Mulch is such a handy component for the garden, especially considering the average backyard is not always blessed with great soil.

Mulch, however is the answer to all gardener's prayers. Not only does it help improve the soil composition, but it help builds organic matter, stabilises moisture loss and helps keep weeds down.

Mulches available:

Sugar Cane Mulch: Produced here at our Woongoolba site, Sugar Cane Mulch is ideal for all gardens. This organic Mulch breaks down quickly, helping to condition the soil and adding vital nutrients which the plants with thrive on.

Cypress Mulch (available in Original or Red Cypress): This decorative mulch is ideal for feature gardens and potted plants. As it contains a natural termite deterrent making it a good mulch that works well around the house.

Pine Bark:  Considered the cheaper mulching alternative, Pine Bark contains nutrients which will enrich the soil. This mulch is ideal for large area's but after a while it can start to look "tired" and a refresh will be needed. Contrary to many beliefs Pine Bark mulch does not encourage termites, but be aware, termites will live in this mulch if they find it.

Lucerne Mulch: Like Sugar Cane Mulch this organic mulch provides gardens with many vital nutrients to help plants thrive.

Tea Tree Mulch: Also a soil conditioning mulch, Tea Tree mulch has a pleasant aroma, but check with your local Nursery prior to using around sensitive plants as this mulch may not be suitable.

When choosing your mulch first consider:

• where the garden is located
• how large the area is
• what plants are being mulched
• what condition the soil is in
• why you want to mulch
