Decorative Mulches
Mulches are materials placed over the soil surface to reduce evaporation and erosion, retard weed growth, and insulate plants from temperature extremes. Mulch retains moisture by shielding the soil from the sun and enhances conditions for healthy micro-organism growth. It also assists erosion control and helps to minimise storm water run-off.
Organic mulches are derived from natural materials and will eventually break down and decompose. This slow decomposition adds nutrients to the soil in the longer term. Mulching is an essential gardening practice.
Soilco distributes a range of mulches. Cross reference the table below to which product is best for your situation and click on the product name to get further information.

How Much Mulch Do I Need?
Mulches are sold loose by the cubic metre (volume). Mulch can also be sold in 60L and 1m3 bags if storage or access is an issue. The following table illustrates how many cubic metres of mulch are required to cover a number of square metres at a depth of either 50, 75 or 100 mm. For example, to cover 20 square metres at a depth of 75mm requires 1.50 cubic metres of mulch.
