Yes, it is a natural, non-toxic wood product suitable for use in gardens where pets are present.
While it is excellent for ornamental use, it is generally recommended to keep ornamental bark away from direct contact with edible crops to prevent contamination.
As with any natural organic mulch, some weathering and colour fading will occur over time due to sun and rain exposure.
Calculate your square meterage and multiply by your desired depth (e.g., 0.05m for 5cm depth) to get the total cubic meters required, then divide by the 60L bag volume.
It has a natural, earthy wood scent characteristic of conifer bark, which dissipates shortly after application.
Ensure the mulch layer is at least 50mm thick and that all perennial weeds were removed from the root up before initial application.
This is normal exposure to the elements; a light misting with water can temporarily refresh the appearance, or add a fresh thin layer.
To achieve the best results, clear the area of existing weeds and debris before applying the bark. Lay a consistent depth of 50-75mm across the surface; any less may allow weeds to penetrate, while significantly more may reduce soil aeration.
