Tree mulch is an economical alternative for mulching projects. It is a by-product produced by Arborists who chip tree branches to reduce bulk prunings. It is a clean fine chip that is high in natural goodness. Our tree mulch is turned and cooked for 9 months before becoming available for use. After 9 months nutrients are ready to be released into your garden. Acting as a protective blanket, it protects soil moisture from evaporating during long dry periods and reduces weed growth by making conditions unfavourable for germination. As a mulch, it also stimulates a natural increase of soil microbes and earthworms which are beneficial in developing strong and healthy root systems.
