How much area does one bag of mulch cover?

Each of our mulch bags has different coverage. Check the product page for specific information on product coverage.

?

Should I take any safety precautions when spreading mulch?

Mulch products may contain micro-organisms and bacteria. You should avoid breathing the fine particles or mists by wearing a particulate mask. Wear gloves when applying the mulch and wash your hands immediately after use

?

Can your plastic packaging be recycled?

Yes! Our bags are made from a low-density polyethylene material which is able to be recycled. We do suggest you contact your local council or rubbish collection agency to confirm they can accept this product. Ensure you wash the bag prior to recycling.

?

I’ve found mould in my bag of mulch, or mould has appeared in my garden after spreading mulch – what should I do?

The natural break down of the mulch has started in the bag, and with a bit of warm weather, humidity (or the bag being left in direct sunlight etc.) mould and odour can occur. The mulch itself is not affected at all and is still completely safe to apply to your garden.

Spread the mulch as recommended, using personal protective equipment if needed, and after a little while in the fresh air and sunshine, the moisture will begin to evaporate which will rid your garden of unsightly mould or strong odours.

If mould has appeared after you’ve spread the product on the garden, it should clear up after a few days in sunlight. Once again, this is caused by moisture getting into the bag and the natural breakdown process commencing
