Ornamental Bark

A coarse organic shredded bark mulch for use as a top dressing on planting areas, borders and raised beds. It gives a natural looking finish around flowers and shrubs. Insulating and protecting root areas from frost in the winter months, while during the summer it helps by retaining moisture in the soil. It works as a weed suppressant by blocking out sunlight and air to the weed seed. This is a very effective method of controlling weeds. Ornamental mulching bark spread around your vegetable patch is a great alternative to spraying weeds offering a more organic way of growing your own food. The bark slowly decomposes over time helping to provide nutrients to the topsoil beneath by adding beneficial bacteria and nitrogen. Ornamental bark is aesthetically pleasing and highlights the beauty of your plants and flowers. Ornamental bark mulch is great value for money and is sourced from sustainable UK woodlands making it environmentally friendly too. The bark chip has an overall dark appearance with the odd contrasting lighter wood pieces. Mulching bark covers a greater area than gravel or slate chippings and when used with our weed membrane it can prevent long term weed growth.
