Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the planting area by removing existing weeds thoroughly.
- Ensure the soil is adequately moist before application.
- Spread Melcourt Bark Nuggets evenly over the prepared area after planting.
- Apply mulch to a depth of 50-100mm, allowing for natural settlement.
Compatibility:
This product is compatible with all types of garden soil and suitable for use around most plants, particularly those that prefer acidic conditions like ericaceous plants (rhododendrons, azaleas, heathers). It is also excellent for general mulching, borders, and pathways.
Care:
Once applied, avoid disturbing the mulch. If weeds do appear, pull them by hand. Top up the mulch layer annually or as needed to maintain the desired depth, typically in spring or autumn. Natural settling will occur over time.
