Brown Cedar Mulch – 85 L

Cedar mulch in brown enhances the look of garden beds while controlling weed growth. Made of 100% cedar, it reduces how often you need to water by slowing the evaporation of water from the soil, and protects roots from frost and drought. A warm brown that sets off green foliage and light-coloured flowers.

• Leave a 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 in) gap at the base of trees and shrubs to prevent the bark from rotting.
• The best time to apply mulch is between late spring and early summer.
• Stir the mulch now and then to keep it airy, and add a new layer once a year or when the existing layer gets too thin.
