FAQs

How much bark do I need?

Calculate the area you want to cover and determine the desired depth of the bark layer (2.5-5 cm). One 100-litre bag typically covers a couple of square meters.

How often should I replace the bark?

Replenish the bark annually to maintain its effectiveness and appearance.

Can I use this bark around any plants?

Generally, yes. However, check plant-specific needs, as some plants prefer different mulching materials. Avoid piling the bark directly against plant stems.

How do I store the bark?

Store in a dry, frost-free place, away from direct sunlight and garden chemicals. Reseal the bag after use.

Is the bark safe for pets and children?

Yes, it is generally safe, but keep it out of reach and prevent ingestion.

Can I use this bark in vegetable gardens?

It is generally not recommended for vegetable gardens. Consider using a different type of mulch specifically designed for vegetable gardens.

Troubleshooting

Weeds are still growing through the bark.

Ensure the bark layer is thick enough (2.5-5 cm). Replenish the bark annually to maintain its weed-suppressing properties. Remove any existing weeds before applying the bark.

The bark is washing away.

Ensure proper application. Avoid applying bark on steep slopes, consider using landscape fabric beneath the bark to prevent it from washing away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare existing beds and borders: remove weeds and debris. Spread a 2.5-5 cm layer of bark. For new beds and borders: prepare the area and spread the same layer of bark. Use it under fruit trees and bushes, and on pathways, applying the recommended depth as described. Store in a dry, frost-free place, away from garden chemicals. Reseal the bag after use. Make sure it is compatible with the plants you have in the area.
