Versatility guaranteed with our new Heart of Eden
Composted Bark Fines.
As part of our dedication to sustainable and renewable sourcing, we’ve developed premium Composted Bark Fines to assist you in the garden, while also helping you to support the environment!
Why choose Composted Bark Fines?
Being a composted product, they are far more durable than many other bark options. Moreover, they provide the added benefit of enhancing soil fertility over time, gradually releasing nutrients into the ground.
For heavy clay soils, our Composted Bark Fines create a more open structure, improving drainage. For light, sandy soils, they help to improve structure, enabling better moisture retention.
Our Composted Bark Fines are exceptionally versatile, not only acting as a highly effective weed suppressant but also serving as the perfect mulch for beds and borders, requiring very little maintenance. Their rich, dark colour also adds an attractive finish, beautifully highlighting flowerbeds and foliage.
Application rates:
If using Composted Bark Fines as a soil conditioner, spread them evenly over the soil with a rake to a depth of 2.5-5cm (1”-2”). For effective weed suppression, a minimum depth of 5cm (2”) is recommended. In very heavy, chalky soils, apply to a depth of 10cm (4”).
If using Composted Bark Fines as a mulch, spread them in the same way to a depth of 2.5-5cm (1”-2”). Be sure to leave a small gap between the mulch and plant stems to avoid causing any damage.
Alongside our Composted Bark Fines, the Heart of Eden range includes peat-free compost, Decorative Bark, and Hardwood Play Chips. All products are sustainably sourced as close to their point of use as possible, helping to reduce carbon miles.
