Mulches & Manures

Mulches & Manures
(Soil Conditioning Composts)

Our Barks and Woodland Mulch are high grade Corsican and Scots Pine sourced from all over the UK.  Our manures are all locally sourced and are well composted and ready for use.  When mulching with any of these products they should be applied at a minimum depth of 50mm (2″).  For this application a dumpy bag (approx. 800ltr) will cover approximately 16m² of area and a small bag (approx. 50ltr) will cover approximately 1m².  The same quantities would apply for digging in to flower beds etc. Our office will be happy to assist in estimating quantities required.
