Tips & Advice

When to Use

• Can be used all year round Jan-Dec

How to Use

Improving Soil Structure

• Spread a thick layer 3-4 cm deep over the soil surface and using a fork work into the top 3-5 cm of the soil surface
• When dug into clay (heavy) soil it will create a much more open structure and improve drainage
• When dug into sandy soil it will improve soil structure facilitating moisture retention during warm weather

Improving Soil Fertility

• Spread a thick layer 3-4 cm deep over the soil surface and using a fork work into the top 3-5 cm of the soil surface
• It will provide a rich source of organic nutrients when dug into soil. These nutrients are slowly released into soil, improving fertility and adding humus to soil

Mulching Beds & Borders

• Remove all weeds from the area and ensure it is moist and not frozen
• Spread a thick layer 3-4 cm deep over the soil surface
• It is ideal for mulching around trees and shrubs as well as your beds, borders and vegetable plots
• This mulch helps feed your plants, suppress weed growth, protect tender roots from frost damage and reduce moisture loss during hot, dry weather
