FAQs

How much bark do I need?

The amount of bark needed depends on the area you want to cover and the desired depth. A 80-litre bag typically covers approximately 1-2 square meters at a depth of 5-7cm.

How long will the bark last?

The bark is long-lasting, but it will gradually decompose. Expect to replenish the bark every 1-2 years, depending on the application and environmental conditions.

Can I use this bark around all plants?

Generally, yes. However, some plants prefer different mulching materials. Check the specific needs of your plants to ensure compatibility.

Is the bark safe for children and pets?

Yes, the bark is generally safe for children and pets. However, avoid ingestion.

How do I create a path with the bark?

Prepare the path by clearing the area and leveling the ground. Lay down a base layer of compacted material like gravel or hardcore. Spread the bark evenly over this base, aiming for a depth of around 5-7cm.

Where can I store the bark?

Store the unopened bags in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, until you're ready to use them.

Troubleshooting

Weeds growing through the bark.

Remove weeds by hand or use a weed killer. Consider using a weed control fabric underneath the bark to prevent weeds from growing through.

Bark is compacting.

Rake the bark to break up compaction and restore its appearance. Top up with fresh bark if necessary.
