FAQs

How long does Strulch last?

Strulch typically lasts for up to two years, depending on environmental conditions and application.

Is Strulch suitable for all plants?

Yes, Strulch has a neutral pH, making it suitable for a wide variety of plants, including vegetables, fruits, and flowers.

How much Strulch do I need?

A 2-3 inch depth is recommended. A single bale typically covers around 4-5 square meters.

How do I apply Strulch?

Clear the area of weeds and debris, then spread the Strulch evenly to the recommended depth.

Is Strulch safe for pets?

Yes, Strulch is made from natural materials and is safe for pets.

Will Strulch attract slugs and snails?

Strulch can provide some shelter, but it generally does not attract slugs and snails any more than other mulching materials.

Does Strulch need watering?

Yes, water the area after applying Strulch to help settle the mulch and initiate decomposition. Regular watering is also needed to maintain the mulch moisture.

Troubleshooting

Weeds are growing through the mulch.

Ensure the mulch is applied at the recommended depth (2-3 inches). Reapply more mulch to areas where weeds appear.

Mulch is blowing away.

Water the area thoroughly after application to help the mulch settle. If strong winds are a persistent problem, consider using a border or netting to secure the mulch.

Mulch is not breaking down.

Ensure the mulch is kept moist by regular watering. Decomposition is aided by soil microorganisms, which require moisture and warmth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Suppresses weed growth effectively.
  • Retains soil moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering.
  • Enriches soil as it decomposes, improving soil structure and fertility.
  • Provides a neat and tidy appearance to garden beds.
  • Made from sustainable, renewable resources.
  • Safe for organic gardening.

Cons

  • May require initial watering after application to settle the mulch.
  • Color will naturally darken over time.
  • Effectiveness can be reduced if not applied at the recommended depth.
  • Not suitable for all climates; may decompose faster in very wet conditions.
  • Can be more expensive than some other mulching options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clear the area of existing weeds and debris before application.
  2. Application: Spread Strulch evenly to a depth of 2-3 inches.
  3. Watering: Water the area after application to help settle the mulch and initiate the decomposition process.

*Compatibility:* Strulch is compatible with most plants and garden environments due to its neutral pH. However, it's always advisable to test a small area first, particularly around sensitive plants.

*Care:* The mulch will naturally break down over time, enriching the soil. Top up the mulch annually or as needed to maintain the desired depth and weed suppression. Avoid disturbing the mulch excessively, as this can expose weed seeds.
