The coverage depends on the depth of the gravel layer. As a general guide, a 4kg bag will cover a small area, approximately 0.1 to 0.2 square meters at a depth of 2-3 cm.
Yes, the lime-free composition makes it suitable for most plants.
Measure the length and width of the area, then calculate the area (length x width). Determine the desired depth of the gravel (e.g., 2-3 cm). Use a gravel calculator or estimate based on the coverage of a 4kg bag.
It is generally not recommended for use in fish ponds due to potential changes in water chemistry. Always check with a pond specialist.
You can use a garden rake or leaf blower to remove debris. If the gravel gets dirty, you can rinse it with water.
Yes, the gravel itself is safe. However, avoid letting pets ingest large quantities as it could cause digestive issues.
Ensure proper installation and consider using landscape fabric underneath to prevent displacement.
Apply a weed suppressant before laying the gravel or manually remove weeds as they appear.
To set up, simply spread the pea gravel evenly over the desired area. Ensure the surface is prepared (e.g., weeded and leveled) before application. The gravel is compatible with most plants, thanks to its lime-free composition. For care, periodically check for debris and remove it to maintain cleanliness. Replenish gravel as needed to maintain the desired depth and appearance. Avoid heavy foot traffic or machinery on areas where pea gravel is used for pathways to prevent displacement.
