| BARK & WOODCHIP |  |
Mulching greatly helps water retention in the soil whilst also acting as a natural weed suppressant. We sell two types of mulch, a Contract Ornamental Bark, which is one of the best selling barks on the market providing the ultimate finish to beds and boarders and a screened mixed Woodchip, which is a great economical way to dress beds and to suppress weeds
