Melcourt Decorative Bark Nuggets Mulch 60 Litres

The Melcourt Decorative Bark Nuggets Mulch significantly improves the appearance of new and existing planted areas as it is larger, with a more consistent rich, mid brown appearance than bark chippings or wood chips,

This long-lasting garden bark performs superbly at suppressing weed growth, reducing the need for bed hoeing and chemical weed-killing, saving time and expense.

Perfect to use in landscaping applications or as a garden mulch, it provides a fresh natural look for pathways through woodland and in planted borders. By insulating roots, it substantially reduces the effects of ground freezing and overheating during extreme weather conditions, plus soil moisture is conserved, reducing the need for plant watering.

With good resistance to wind and rain erosion, this high-performing garden bark is easy to install, and requires little subsequent maintenance.
