The mulch we're recommending for this area of your garden is
Bark Mulch
Decorative and functional
Mulching your soil post planting will help to keep weeds at bay and help lock in moisture, reducing evaporation and therefore watering.
If laid adjoining a lawn or paving it may be flicked around by birds looking for worms. To help contain it, we’d recommend using a paving, stone or timber edging to prevent bark migrating onto other surfaces.
Specification:
Supply and lay 40mm depth of mulch to pre-planted border, laid directly on to the soil. Ensure no mulch falls into the plant foliage or damages plant foliage or stems during installation. Excludes membrane as not required.
We advise that weed membranes are NOT used and that mulch is laid directly over the soil. This is due to plant roots and soil requiring air. The installation of membranes can lead to stagnant soil and root rot.
