Why is mulch important?
Mulch is important because it protects the soil from erosion, retains water, and provides nutrients. It also helps to keep weeds down and can improve the appearance of your garden.
What mulch is best for moisture retention?
Organic mulches like sugar cane, lucerne, bark chips and wood-based mulches are best for moisture retention. They create a natural barrier that reduces evaporation, keeps soil cooler and helps plants stay hydrated longer between watering. Finer mulches break down faster and improve soil health, while chunkier mulches last longer but may let more air through. For best results, apply mulch at a depth of 75–100mm and top it up as it decomposes. Choose a mulch that suits your garden’s needs and climate.
Is your bark safe for use in playgrounds?
Bark used in playgrounds should meet Playsafe or Australian Standard soft-fall requirements. This type of bark is tested for cushioning, particle size and fall impact resistance. It’s designed to reduce injury risk in play areas and is safe for kids to walk, fall and play on. If you're building or upgrading a play area, ask your supplier specifically for certified playground mulch or soft-fall bark to ensure it meets the safety standards required for public or backyard use.
