Full details

FAQs
How deep should I apply the bark?
For best results in garden beds and borders, apply a layer between 50mm and 75mm thick.
Will this bark attract pests?
As a natural organic product, it is typical for it to harbor beneficial garden insects, but it is not known to attract significant garden pests.
Can I use this in my vegetable patch?
Yes, it is suitable for vegetable patches, though ensure it does not come into direct contact with edible stems or leaves.
How often should I replace the bark?
You should generally add a top-up layer every 12 to 24 months as the material decomposes and settles.
Is this bark safe for pets?
Ambassador Landscape Bark is a natural wood product; however, it is always recommended to supervise pets to ensure they do not ingest garden mulch.
Troubleshooting
Bark appears to be disappearing over time
This is a natural process as the organic material breaks down; simply apply a fresh top-up layer once or twice a year.
Weeds growing through the bark
Ensure the application depth is sufficient (at least 50mm) to block sunlight and consider laying a landscape fabric beneath the bark for long-term control.
Plants look yellow or struggle after application
Check that the bark is not piled directly against the stems or crowns of plants, as this can trap excess moisture and lead to decay.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Improves soil moisture retention
- Protects plant roots from temperature extremes
- Provides a tidy, professional finish to gardens
- Versatile for beds, borders, and paths
Cons
- Heavy 70-litre packaging can be difficult to maneuver

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the ground is damp to lock in existing moisture. Spread the mulch evenly, being careful not to bury the crowns of sensitive herbaceous plants, which can cause rot. The bark is compatible with most garden soil types and plant species. To maintain its appearance and effectiveness, lightly rake the surface annually to remove debris and add a thin top-up layer every 1-2 years as the product gradually breaks down and incorporates into the soil structure.
